Hello, His dose may be too high. Whenever we prescribe blood pressure medication like the tazloc it is possible that the blood pressure will go too low. If that happens then the pulse normally increases to assure adequate blood flow to the body. Please discuss this with his doctor who will probably need to decrease his dose of Tazloc Regards
