Cause And Cure For Low Blood Pressure And Painful Neck
I m age 58, 5 4, normally 120lbs(currently 128), and female.My waking heart rate is 44. Usually my heart rate runs 65 to 70. In the last two weeks, my short term memory worsened. I have pain on the right side of my neck near my corotid artery, it s slightly swollen, and tender to the touch. My bp is 118/74. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure but for the last four weeks my blood pressure has decreased. I started back riding the treadmill for one hour/day 6 days per week.

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms could be related to inflammation (swollen and painful neck)
From the other hand your heart rate is low.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count
- PCR, ESR for inflammation
- blood electrolytes.
Further tests may be needed.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
