"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.
