I'm 35 years old. For as long as I can remember, I always have elevated blood pressure; average around 142/78. My pulse at rest is mostly lower than 50 bpm.

I'm very active, running 8 miles/day. I eat healthy but can't get the blood pressure down.

I notice that immediately after running when my heart beat is still around 70 bpm, my blood pressure measures much lower 125/76 or better. It rises again as my pulse lowers. My doctor has sent me to a cardiologist and never anything was found.... I want to avoid medication but I'm not sure what else I can do in a natural way. is there a proven relationship between low pulse and high blood pressure?
