Suggest Remedies For Fluctuating Blood Pressure And Low Pulse
I've been watching my blood pressure. Sometime its normal, sometime not. My pulse also is doing that. This reading is 137/84 and pulse is 45. I was just wondering how lower your pulse can go and be okay? Reading earlier was 139/76 and pulse 110. One of my high ones was 133/94 and pulse 46. I have been taking prednesone since yesterday in a tapering dose due to an unknown allergic reaction under my eyes/swelling. But my blood pressure has been doing the high/normal stuff for some time.

Hello
thanks for posting at HCM.
First of all I would want to get some information whether you are a known hypertension patient and if you are on any medications. Your heart rate is definitely low. I guess you must be on medications for blood pressure control which also lower the heart rate (beneficial effect). IF you are not on any BP medications, then you must get evaluated for why do you have such slow heart rate. See, there is no immediate risk, but there must be a cause for a heart rate less than 50 bpm. If you are an athlete or on BP medications then such a heart rate is acceptable.
Your BP readings are under normal range and they do not seem worrisome. Please do continue taking your medications.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
