I am a 53 years old woman and I have all my life had low blood presure and low heart rate, however latelly my heart rate is about 46-52 and my blood pressure is around 89/60. I walk on the treadmill at least 4 times a week, I am 5 feet 0 inches tall and my weight still 150. I feel very tired sometimes, but otherwise healthy.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Low blood pressure together with low heart rate is referred to as automonic dysfunction related Hypotension and Bradycardia.
This low blood pressure can be treated with drugs like midodrine and fludrocortisone.
Increased salt intake in the diet can help to increase the BP.
Low heart rates can be due to intrinsic excess vagus nerve activity.
Implantable cardiac pace makers can increase the heart rate.
Drugs like atropine can increase the heart rate.
Consult your cardiologist for further help.
Thank you
