@jimgrupe May I add that your hydration level may have a bearing on your feeling like a dishrag (great description). I carry around a 32-ounce container and sip all day long. I am to drink 2 of these each day and avoid salty food. Ask your doctor about how much water you should drink every day.

@walkinggirl I have to admit, I'm not big on water. Other fluids fine, but plain water is just so...uh....*plain*. 🙂 Iced tea, soda, juices, etc. Gimme some flavor!!!!

But what is very clear to me is that the same dosage of Nebivolol before surgery is now much too strong, and I'm having difficulty understanding WHY.

I *think* that right now I am still feeling the effects of the surgery and need to give it a little more time. Although, my "Surgery" was rather minor: My pacemaker is a new variety that was implanted into the heart via a vein from my groin. No box. No incisions. No wires.
