Q: I have low pulse (45 ~ 48) with high blood pressure 170/90 -- 170/83 etc. I am 78, The last cartoid artery scan said I have vessels of 57 yr old. I am able to do hard manual work. No heart attack.
Hi Ed,
It is fairly typical for pulse rate to be decreased with a high blood pressure and vice versa (high pulse rate with low blood pressure). However, there are cases when patients have a dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system that cause heart rate to increase as blood pressure increases.
If you haven't already, you may want to implement the DASH diet to see if it will impact your blood pressure levels.
All the best,
