Is BP 96/66 With H/R 106 Be Due To Hypertension Or Cough?

Hi My b/pis 96/66 and my resting H/R is 106 (its never usually that high) . Im also a bit shaky. I wondered wether im hypertensive and wether its related to the 'cough' ive developed yesturday . I bring up phlegm and last night whilst laying down i could here crackles and a sort of whistling oise intermittently . Im 22 and have a poor immune system due to an eating disorder.
Should i see my dr? Possible cause's?
Thank you

Hello
welcome to HCM.
Your BP recordings are not high, rather on he lower side, so this cannot be due to hypertension. Your heart rate of 106 is slightly high. Since you have got cough with phelgm along with crackles and whistling sounds I suppose you have sustained a lower respiratory tract infection. You have not mentioned if there is any fever. The heart rate may be faster due to the infection. I suggest you take a short 5 day course of antibiotics tab augmentin 625 mg thrice daily along with a cough medication and multivitamins. Please do a chest x ray and a sputum culture (phelgm testing) if symptoms do not improve after 5 days of antibiotics.
Your BP is slightly low, so you need not worry about hypertension which means HIGH BP. Please drink lots of fluids and take the above medications as adviced.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
