How can my pulse be high, but my blood pressure normal? |
I have high blood pressure, but am on medication for it. My blood pressure was normal this morning, but my pulse was 103! "Taken when at rest, a normal adult's pulse can be anywhere from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Anything over 100 is technically defined as a tachycardia. There are many instances during which it is perfectly natural for the heart to be racing out of this "normal" range." "The heart will always beat faster when it has more work to do and needs to pump more blood and oxygen to the body," he says. "Exercise, emotion, nervousness, a large meal are all common triggers. If you are overweight or out of shape, the heart will need to work harder. And sometimes, a regular pulse slightly above the norm just may be normal for certain individuals, depending on his or her specific body chemistry." Lots more info on pulse rates at site below. Hope that helps! Source(s): http://www.mothernature.com/library/book... Could be a sign of dehydration. Pulse rate can be high with a normal/low Blood pressure eg.after exercise(BP-Normal, Pulse Rate-High), hypotension(BP-Low, Pulse Rate-High). The blood pressure is determined by the vascular resistance to blood flow and the volume of the blood. Pulse rate or the heart rate doesnt directly have a bearing on the BP. The heart rate is controlled by your heart's pacemaker and your medicine. Your BP is influenced by lots of other factors, salt intake, dehydration, body position... What changes one doesn't always have the same effect on the other. |
