What Causes High Pulse Rate While On Medication For Blood Pressure?
my blood pressure is usually high. I am on 2 blood pressure meds (benicar and bistolic HCT) to keep it at 120/80, or around there. at times it goes as high as 160/110, then can drop to 90/60. my pulse rate has always been around 74. lately, even when just waking up, my pulse rate has been 92 to 110. The increased pulse rate is not just after exercising. I should I be concerned?

Blood pressure recording should be done according to a routine. Decisions are best made from an average value from a two week span. Record your blood pressure on a schedule every day. It should be taken seated after a 10-15 min period of relaxation.
Your heart rate variation may warrant concern. Your doctor should know. Make sure that you measure your pulse and don't rely totally on your blood pressure device. Pay close attention to your bowel habits an color and consider having your blood counts checked.
