What Is The Normal BP And Heart Rate In A Lymphoma Patient?
A family member is in end-stage lymphoma... he is being cared for by his wife, but will go to hospital probably tomorrow...his BP right now is 157/87 and heart rate 135....could this just be due to his extreme weakness and anemia or should he go to emerg right away..I'm an RN but not sure what he should do...he is stubborn and wants to remain at home as long as possible

Hi
After hearing your history a BP of 157/87 mm with heart rate 135 is quite high in lymphoma patient.
I would advise you to take a calcium channel blocker group of drug with your doctors advise
I will also recommend you to do a blood test for complete blood count and go to the emergency straight away
Regards
