Heart beats/pulse relationship to blood pressure

My resting pulse/heart bead is average 65 beats per minute with blood pressure average of 118/56.
After becoming more active and increasing the heart beats to 75 per minute, my blood pressure goes up to 135/62.
When I'm really active to the point that my heart beats 110 per minute, my blood pressure shoots about 155/66 and at this rate, I am, as expected, breathing very heavy to the point that my heart even feels so heavy like if I was going to have a heart attack. However, my heart beats/pulse along with my blood pressure reduces shortly, depending how still I am.  
Question. If you supposingly have healthy arteries with very little or no plaque build up, shouldn't your blood pressure normally be about 120/60 even when your heart beats 110 beats per minute?  I cannot get definitive answer to this question.  I ask this question because when I was about 58 years old, I could keep high active for about 4 hours straight and my heart beat would be racing over 100-115 beats per minute and yet my pulse would be about 120/60.  Now that I'm 64, I cannot elevate my heart beat to this level without increasing my blood pressure at such a high level. Because I fear some amount of arteries getting clogged up a bit, I am taking 3 to 4 capsules of Oral Chelations each day along with circulation supplement that contains Natakinase along with 1000 mcg of B-12s and 1,500 MG of vitamin C, plus other multivitamins for me.  So should I be worrying about my heart?

"since you used to go to 110 and 120/60, but now get to 155/66, that might mean the infamous 'hardening of the arteries'. That seems especially likely, seeing as how the increase is mostly in the systolic."

what? I think you are panicking over nothing. To establish your maximum heart rate for exercise, you take your age away from 220. You are 64, so 220-64 =156 which makes you just right at a bp of 155.  Your diastolic is normal and no concern at all.
Don't worry about anything, your blood pressure looks great.

If chelation removes plaque from arteries, what happens to all the fat that the plaque is attempting to stop breaking free, to form clots? There is nothing that can remove the soft fat and are you really removing the bodies way of helping to protect you?
I really get confused over chelation and what it is supposed to achieve.

Yes, I agree with you, as I suspected, apparently the arterie(s) is getting clogged up some, which is why my BP has gone up when my heart rate goes up along with it. I'm feel a little relieved that my BP comes down as my HR slows down.
I take the Oral Chelation because it is suppose to eventually clear away the arteries by removing the calcium deposits and other sticky plaque. Since Oral Chelation suppose to remove all those sticky stuff from the arteries, I also take a mineral supplement to replenish what Oral Chelation removes. Of course I should also drink more water to remove those deposits that eventually wind up in the kidneys.  Since calcium is good for certain other parts of the body, which I have been taking with vitamin D, it can also create artery problems.  It seem that after taking calcium vitamins just about every day for several years, it is now affecting my blood pressure. So now I don't take calcium nearly as often as, maybe once a week. So I trying to see if that by taking the Oral Chelation and reducing the calcium will make a positive difference....I hope....

And thanks for responding.  

It can really drive a person crazy when you hear all positive and negative research studies and opinions on what is best for your body. :-(

The arteries can have lost elasticity without getting to the point of significant blockage that would show up in an ECG.

But on the plus side, as you probably know, it's considered a good sign that your HR drops quickly when you rest

Are you trying to chelate calcium? .There is some thought that calcium stabilizes vulnerable, soft plaque.

imagine a garden hose is your major arteries and the tap is your heart. Turn the tap on gently and this is you at rest. Now turn the tap full on, this is your heart under extreme
exertion. Feel the water coming out of the hose, is it higher in pressure?
You need higher blood pressure when exercising to force more blood around the body to get the demanded oxygen there. Now with the tap full on still, squeeze the end of the hose and feel the pressure again. This is how your arteries will squeeze tighter, forcing more blood at a faster rate around the body to your muscles.
If I exercised and my blood pressure didn't increase, I would be very concerned.
