I have hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism, and I'm on medication (atenolol) to slow my heart rate which gets quite high when I'm not on my medication. I had a little sniffle a few months back and was warned against certain over the counter medications because they would counteract the atenolol and raise my heart rate.
A friend of mine just joined a gym and signed me up as part of her group. I would like to do a bit of exercise to counteract the possible weight gain I might experience due to my thyroid medication. However I'm worried about raising my heart rate since I'm on medication to slow it.
I enjoy walking and some light swimming, I'd like to check out the exercise machines the gym offers and even though I'm not the type to act like I'm in an Olympic race I can sometimes go a little overboard (my usual "walking" pace would probably be considered more of a power walk, or even a light jog if I lifted my legs higher, since I don't much like going slowly).
So, should I stay with the light stuff or am I safe with a bit of cardio? Do I have to worry about working myself to hard? What other exercises are possible if I do have to worry?
(Posts from other people with hyperthyroidism, or even hypothyroidism, and health professionals are preferred, but posts from anyone who knows what I'm trying to say are very welcome)
