Question: I have had a sudden rise of about 35 points the last few days has been running 165 over 95--usually about 110 over 75 pulse rate has also dropped to about 46
Brief Answer:
It is compensatory raise in blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Since your heart rate was low the body compensated it by increasing the blood pressure to maintain circulation .
If you continue to have episodes of low heart rate I would suggest you to get evaluated for the same .
low heart rate can also occur due to medications used for hypertension, but you are not on any of those medications.
Hence I would suggest to go in for an ECHO and 24 hours Holter monitoring to see how many times in a day this episode occurs.
This would be helpful to initiate treatment.
Best wishes
