high BP low BPM?
Hi all, I have Arrhythmia and bradycardia, could anyone tell me why the lower my pulse the higher my blood pressure is? Using a pump as a example, surely the slower the pump the less the pressure should be?
I wake up in the middle of the night now with a throbbing headache at the back due to my BP going up, they tell me that my BPM in the night is 30.

Thanks for the information Pat, your story is very reassuring. Glad things are working out for you.
Hi Yar 1950:
I had a similar situation. High BP and heart rate that went as low as 31 and flucuated during the day from 31 to as high as 40. My blood pressure is always high and I take medication for it which keeps it pretty much under control. Because the very low heart rate that lasted for almost a week that I know of (it was the week of memorial day) I delayed in calling my doc. When I did go and see him he set me up immediatly with a Cardiologist who put me in the hospital the next day and put in a pacemaker. The "electrical circuits" in my heart were not functioning properly and that was the only solution. I had been diagnosed years ago with some kind of heart block, but was told it probably wouldn't cause any trouble down the line.
Everything is just ticking along fine now. My tirdness is gone and I feel great.
Good luck to you.
