| Response from Dr. Horwath
 These are appropriate doses for you if your symptoms have improved (which they have) and you don't have any serious side effects (doesn't sound like you do). Your tolerance for exercise depends entirely on your prior history of exercise and whether you have any other medical conditions. These medications should not interfere with you exercise tolerance. | ||||||||
