    I became light headed about 20 minutes into class and couldnt do both sets of poses from eagle thru three although it did improve a little on the floor series. I had only been on the beta blocker three days and then stopped because I didn’t like not being able to do yoga. However my BP is just so high now that I must now take these. My doctor thinks that after my body adjusts I should be able to handle bikram. Have you heard of many people on beta blockers who take bikram?

    Hello I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and have been a regular(3-5 x a week) bikram yoga practitioner. No matter what I couldn’t lower my BP on my own so I was prescribed a beta blocker(toprol) I know that when on a beta blocker your body has a hard time dealing with heat and I felt strange doing yoga on it(dizzy light headed) will these symtoms go away after I adjust to the meds or do I have to choose beta blocker or hot yoga?
