High pulse low blood pressure - something to worry about?

[butterscotch23]

45-year old woman with high pulse (average 101) and low blood pressure due to Hydrochlorot. Something to worry about? Doctor said to relax when pulse is over 80 which means I would spend my life relaxing!

Here is some good info on the diuretic you are taking.

Make sure you electrolytes are checked.  Higher water intake means higher water output that could lead to changes in Na/K levels.

Could be your fluid volume is low which WILL cause this.  Some people do not get thirsty and then there are problems.  I am one of those, so I hear ya.  Make sure you are drinking enough water and see what happens.

You are a little brief, lacking on information, for any confident or specific response.

But, I will say a HR of 101 isn't a problem if you are physically or emotionally active.  It is a bit high if you are truly at rest when that HR is achieved. You didn't say what your blood pressure is, but the guideline I espouse is if you are not dizzy, have headaches or some other symptoms of too little oxygen getting around (sweating is another), then your BP isn't too low.  I say that without knowing how low it is.
