Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your BP is at the lower border of the norm. Although your HR is slightly elevated (107 bpm) as long as its below 120 bpm you shouldn't worry about that.

If you were my patient I would recommended to add magnesium supplements on your therapy to further stabilize your BP and HR.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
