Why do i get symptoms when b/p goes down and also my pulse gets bellow 55?
I take medications for blood pressure, but sometimes i get symptoms like dizziness, headaches,nausea and when i check the b/p sometimes is mildly low but my pulse goes down sometimes even below 54, is there a relation with the medication or there could be any medical problem, because i also get weakness, when that happens. i know that the normal pulse rate is 60.
The body’s normal response to low blood pressure is an increased pulse rate. The problem you are describing may be due to the fact that many of the medications for blood pressure can cause both a lower pressure and a decrease in the heart rate. It sounds like your pressure may be slightly low and the fact that your pulse can not respond to take up the slack results in the feelings of dizziness, headaches or nausea. Talk these symptoms over with your doctor, as you may need a decrease in the dosage of you blood pressure medication.
