I have been diagnosed with hypertension and have been prescribed Benicar. I am responding will but have noticed and intresting trend. While my blood pressure is in the 110s/70s, my resting pulse falls in the 60s. If my blood pressure dips to 90s/60s my resting pulse goes to somewhere in the mid-80s. Is there a correlation and is this something I should bring to my family doctor's attention?

Thanks
