How will Toporol affect my workout?

Options
I suffer from severe migraines (at least 2 a month, lasting up to 3 days) so my doctor up me on Toporol as a daily preventative. When I picked it up from the pharmacy they were telling me how it will make it harder to increase my heart rate...which is a problem when you're trying to lose weight! My target heart rate is 130-160, and its been pretty easy to get it to 140 lately, and when I worked out on Friday I kicked butt and kept it at about 155 for the whole hour and a half.

My concern is that I won't be able to get my heart rate up to continue my weight loss. I usually do 20-30 minutes cardio and about 30-40 minutes of strength training (still keeping my heart rate up in between sets). I have done so well the past few months and I don't want the medicine to stand in my way.

Has anyone else noticed any differences if they started on toporal?
