Blood Pression and Heart Rythm

Dear jose,
I'm not sure exactly what your question is.  Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg and normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute (bpm).  Mildly elevated increases in blood pressure (<130 mmHg) and heart rate (<120) are not generally cause for concern.  If resting heart rate or blood pressure are elevated above these levels then treatment may be needed.  The determination as to what is the cause of the elevation and the best treatment can only be made by your doctor.

Hi--im actually concerned about blood pressure at the opposite side if the scale. My BP is usually around 80/60 with a pulse  at 62( and Im not the fittest person)I had an episode last July that it dropped to 70/40 for 2 weeks , which landed me in hospital but no cause was ever determined. I am attempting to post a question regarding my problem once i can get in, but if there is a need to have an operation or an emergency arises which needs surgery, is low blood pressure dangerous? Also  I have been having episodes in the middle of the night(no if only THAT was the reason!hahaha) that my BP suddenly rises to about 110/65( the diastolic never budges much)which brings on a whole run of bad feelings, like heart palpitations-more pronounced when i lie on the left side--choking/pressure feeling to my head--it feels like my head is going to "popp", legs which go numb and arms that get pins and needles,my legs go heavy and numb alternatively, and my vision blurrs and speech slurrs- and i can assure you i am not dreaming.My heart is supposedly fine--on the"upper limits of normal" with a CTR of 50%. During the day if i try to excercise, within 5 minutes the above symtoms (symptoms) occur. If I push myself too hard it takes a full day to recover.Has anyone else out there had any of these problems assoiated with LOw blood pressure, or should i be getting my heart checked out more, as in stress tests. Should i consider aneurisms or what?? I have had a cat scan done to check for tumours, have had about 50 bloodtests donewhich only foud out im low in adrenalin and vitamin B12, had halter monitors and all the standard tests and ultrasounds which -at the time -were fine.
