[TPIN] Antihistimine Topic TPIN Dean Howard

Tue May 29 15:34:47 CDT 2007

If this is so, wouldn't an expected side effect of
inderal be decelerated tempi? Why would musician take
this drug unless his MD was prescribing it for hypertension?
Is my sense of time and tempo really tied to my current pulse rate?
I don't get it; I get tempi from a metronome, or the conductor.
If I wanna know my pulse rate I count it for 15 seconds and multiply
by 4.

I doubt that many TPIN participants will be enrolled at UCLA
medical school next fall. An exposition of your theories
might be helpful. From a practical standpoint it seems that
we have more voluntary control over our respiration rate than
our pulse. I have found it helpful to deliberately keep
my breathing rate slow and even when I feel nervous. I think
my jr. high band director first clued me in to this.

Was this a response to a TPIN post? I can't
find the orginal to which Mr. Goode is responding.
