Can Bradycardia cause hypertension?
by Cin7654, Jun 20, 2008 02:13PM
I am a 54 yo Asian female, not physically active but not overweight. My heart rate has fallen into the fifties but my blood pressure is on the rise 166/90. I also have small nodules on my thyroid but all other thyroid tests are normal. Is there an association between Bradycardia and hypertension? I don't take any medication except for progesterone.

Sometimes high blood pressure and a rapid heart rate are concomitant conditions indicating the heart is under stress...a slow heart rate will not cause hypertension.
