Cardiologist,  's  Response
hello,I have gone through your question.Thanks for using HCM.Your heart rate of 88 is certainly not high.Normal heart beats vary between 60 to 100.so you need not worry for heart rate.you appear quite anxious.i would like to know your age to guide you for pressure as above age of sixty BP upto 150/90 is normal.If you are below 60 then BP less than or equal to 140/80 is normal.your systolic BP 147 is mostly due to anxiety and will not need any BP medicines.I would suggest you to take low dose anxiolytic Like Tab.Alprazolam 0.25 mg at bed time.This should solve your problem.continue for about 2 weeks.yoga and meditation will help you a lot.
My best wishes.
