So I popped up, grabbed my iPhone and  record\u00aded these lit\u00adtle movies.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to get my heart rate up to 144, 93% of max for my age. Up until today I was under\u00adstand\u00ading that I could not get my heart rate that high because of the beta-block\u00ader med\u00adica\u00adtion (Coreg) I take morn\u00ading and&nbsp;night.<\/p>\n<p>But anon, the beta-block\u00ading stuff appar\u00adent\u00adly just whacks off attempts by the ole pump to jump or spike above the max rate. Too weird as last year I went in for the same test and those tech\u00adni\u00adcians told me I could not get my heart rate up using the tread\u00admill because of the beta-block\u00aders so they gave me a shot of some nuclear stuff that dilat\u00aded my veins and arter\u00adies <span class=\"caps\">AS<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">IF<\/span> I\u2019d exercised.<\/p>\n<p>The goal on the test was 85% of max to get good data so I was pleased to get it up to 93% after 13 min\u00adutes on the tread\u00admill.

The sec\u00adond hard\u00adest part was when they <em><strong>abrupt\u00adly<\/strong><\/em> stopped the test at which time I am to <strong><em>imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly<\/em><\/strong> step off the tread\u00admill and lay back on the table next to the tread\u00admill for a sec\u00adond ultra\u00adsound.
