High Blood Pressure, High Pulse Rate, Feels Better. Why Is The Pulse Rate Not Dropping?
After my husband went to sleep (a very short period of time), he could tell his blood pressure was high. We used a home cuff (digital) and have kept the figures. The blood pressure is staying around 151/80 and down to 129/93. His pulse rate has stayed fairly high--from 138 down to 128 at its lowest reading. He does feel better, but don't know why his pulse rate isn't dropping. Could you tell us what to do next?
