I work out but have high Blood Pressure [View all]

So I was sent to a cardiologist who started me off on Bystolic.

Problem I have with it, it makes me feel so low energy, and now I am having some chest pains that I didn't have earlier.

I want to stop taking it.

I also don't know what the effect is on exercise.
I feel like when I exercised with it, I sweat a lot more.

I am not sure what to do with it. I feel like heart medication just makes things worse.

Before I started taking Bystolic, I've been working out using Les Mills Body Combat. for over a week and a half.
