are there any studies about inverse coorelation between heart rate and blood pressure?
my heart rate and blood pressure vary widely and because my blood pressure (at rest) has been as high as 160/90, my doctor wants me to take Diovan. but sometimes my blood pressure is normal or even a bit lower 116/70. i've noticed that when the pressure is lower my heart rate is higher. my normal heart rate seems to be about 56. when it gets up to 68, the blood pressure never goes up above 140/80. i can't find anything that discusses a reason or any studies on this whether a higher heart rate is better than high blood pressure.
Maryann,
Sorry this not an answer, but rather a request. I'm having the same problem, and would greatly appreciate you sharing any information you receive regarding your question. I take medication for high B/P, but am having increased elevations of 189/96 and a pulse rate of 52, on a regular basis. Getting a little concerned. Thanks
