I'm curious about my pulse after exercising. I did a brisk walk for about 3 kilometers, which took me around 30 minutes, and when I checked my pulse rate right after, it was between 130 and 135. Is this considered normal? My resting pulse usually sits between 70 and 80. Should I be concerned?

A pulse rate of 130-135 after brisk walking is within a normal range, especially considering your resting pulse is 70-80. As long as you do not experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, this pulse rate is considered normal for your level of physical activity.

I'm wondering about continuing with corbis bisoprolol 5 mg, which I've been taking for a decade now. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is hanging around 60. I'm aware that bisoprolol can lower heart rate, and even though I'm not experiencing any issues, I'm curious whether I should consult a doctor about switching medications because of the lower pulse rate. How long is it generally okay to stay on corbis if I'm not having any problems?
