Is BP Of 164/90 And A Pulse Rate Of 59 Normal?
My husbands BP is 164/90 heart rate is 59. He took a Timolol at 6PM today. Concerned about the 74 point difference between top & bottom number especially if he takes more. He suffers from Chronic daily migraines. His headache level, he says is an 11 on a 0-10 scale. He takes four 10/325 percocet per day. He took half a pill at 8PM & the second half at 10PM. Hoping that will help lower his BP. Concerned that additional Timolol could cause heart rate problems or worse.
