Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just took my BP it was 140/91 with a heart rate of 47. I'm 50, 190 lbs. My heart rate has always been low. I'm pretty active, used to participate in triathlons. I have had shortness of breath, This is not unusual for me through the years. Do I need to be concerned with my last BP numbers and low heart rate?
