default
Posted on Thu, 7 Mar 2019
Question: I am a 62 yr old female with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and have regurgitation heart valve. My blood pressure which I just had taken was 185/93 and heart rate 53. Is this normal. I do see my cardiologist every 3 to 6 months but don't have to go back until May. Is this something that I should be concerned about?
