Hi Free1Day,
Thanks for your reply. That does make sense... If there's a leak in the plumbing, the pressure just won't be there. :) (I didn't know that pneumonia could spread to a person's heart, scary thought.) I'm gonna have to look into this, my curiosity is piqued.
Hi LuvToHike,
I'm not a professional but I can share some of the "understanding" I have gathered from different sources. Of course, by all means, make a in depth search for more information.
High Blood Pressure is a risk factor however, there are other risk factors as well. Such as drug usage or in my case bi-lateral pneumonia that spread to my heart.
To answer your question, yes, your BP can be normal and have a heart attack and not in every case will your BP be high. For an example, internal hemorrhaging will cause your pulse to zoom upward but your BP falls out the bottom of the scale.
Hope this helps!
