Is A Pulse Rate Of 35 A Cause For Concern?
Question: Wife has pulse f 35 when taking her blood pressure.
Brief Answer:
it's too low...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
her pulse rate is too low. She'd better visit the ER. Since she's taking metoprolol, that's probably the cause. Make sure she doesn't get any more metoprolol until she sees a doctor or her pulse rate recovers. The target rate is about 60 beats/minute. Whatever is lower than 45 increases the risk for severe symptoms. 35 is too low. You haven't mentioned any symptoms yet... Doesn't she feel dizzy?
