What Causes High Heart Rate?
Question: Good blood pressure, high heart rate?
Brief Answer:
Transient rise can be normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
If your blood pressure is normal and the heart rate is transiently elevated to 90 then it could be due to anxiety , panic attack or exercise. If this is a transient rise then its perfectly normal and would not require any treatment. If the heart rate is persistently elevated then a selective beta blocker like atenolol can be started at low dose in addition to the losartan, in consult with your doctor.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
