Hello ,
The rapid rise in pulse or subjective palpitation may be because of mild MVP ,
If hypertension is not very severe as in your case ( where your pressure ) reading are just boder line .
Beta blocker particularly which acts only on the heart like betaloc is the best choice as it will take care of blood pressure , heart rate and present progression of MVP in future .
As you would grow older when the pressure reading may go higher because of decrease in elasticity of nomral vessel adding an ace inhibitor / arb ( eg. olmesartan of your pin om ) is a good option .
However at present betaloc would be the best drug in my personal opinion .
