Low pulse and blood pressure and night
by JBriss2113, Nov 06, 2009 12:11PM
I just got off of Lisinopril after taking it off and on for four years (it was causing my resting heart rate to be around 100 until recently it was 130) and ever since then my bp has been fine during the day 120-140 70-85 and my pulse is around 80. But late at night when I got to bed and lay down my bp is low 100-110 60-70 and pulse is around 58. I am scheduled to have an echo Monday. I am a 24 year old male 5"5' 200 pounds and my cholesterol is slightly elevated. I don't have any chest pain either except from GERD. What is causing my bp to be so low and my pulse at night but be fine in the morning. Does it mean I have a weak heart? The cardiologist listened to me heart and my throat, arms, and legs and said I had a real strong pulse. My Pulse pressure is also between 45-60 usually. MY diastolic really gets about 75.

It is normal to have a lower blood pressure and pulse at night before going to bed than during the day when you are active. Your readings are also within normal limits. I do not think that this places you at high risk for coronary artery disease.

When I walked around the block today when I got home my bp was 150/80 and my pulse was 98. MY bp had been normal all morning. Could that be an indicator of heart disease as well.
