The medicine I drop in my eyes for my glaucoma has a beta blocker in it. That gives me a resting heart rate in the mid to high 40s. This is of concern to primary care physician. When I told her my heart rate is usually low, she mentioned my heart rate is that of a marathon runner not for an overweight middle aged man. Harsh. The plan to get less beta blocker into my system, according to my eye doctor, was to pinch my tear ducts closed for five minutes after I had put in the drops. What a great plan!
Yesterday, I think the local anesthetic used for my teeth work interacted with the eye drops. Twice I got alerts on my phone that my heart rate had dropped into the 30s. Fortunately, the alerts worried me enough to speed up my heart to more normal levels, normal for my current situation.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
