What Does A Drop Om Heart Rate After Activity Indicate?
Question: My blood pressure is low average 90/62 pulse goes from 54 to 160 with just walking. My blood oxygen also goes from 97 and drops to 83 with any kind of activity. Do you have any idea what's going on?
Brief Answer:
Heart rate is supposed to rise with activity.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you with activity the heart rate may fluctuate and that is not a cause for concern. I would not be worried about the fluctuation in oxygen saturation as well. However, the low blood pressure is indeed concerning and calls for further evaluation. Increasing dietary salt intake and drinking plenty of water should help in resolution of the problem.
Let me know if I could help further.
