High Bp and I'm young??
Hi I'm 22 yrs old, active about 225lbs 6'3 and I was wondering I've had high Bp ranging from upper 130's to 140's or sometimes 150's systolic my diastolic ranges from 70's to 85...I was wondering if heart ratehas anything to do with my high Bp..my rest hr is around 60's or 50's...does this have anything to do with higher blood pressure? Am I at risk more with a lower heart rate I'm on Bp meds losartan 50 mg...my heart echo an stress test in march of this ur was ok too. Should I be worried? Also can't understand my cardiologist too well.
Thanks doc idk why mines been so low lately it worries me, any suggestions to why it should run this low? I am pretty active

Hi, normal Blood pressure range is Systolic BP: 90-139 mmHg, Diastolic BP: 60-89 mmHg and Pulse rate: 60- 99 beats/min. The low pulse rate may not affect the blood pressure. In fact losartan causes a rapid heart rate. If you are experiencing symptoms of dizziness or consistently low pulse rates, consult your cardiologist to rule out arrhythmias. Regards.
