What Causes Blood Pressure And Pulse Levels To Fluctuate?

Good morning. My blood pressure is usually around 130/78 pulse 85, Sometimes for no reason it will be 106/65 pulse 168. I am not exercising when it does this. Doesn't happen a lot, but has 2 or 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Any idea what is going on?

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Actually such fluctuation of heart rate and BP needs evaluation.It is possible that you are getting spells of an arrhythmia called SVT. However it must be documented.I suggest you to get an ECG done during the spell of your fast heart rate.This will give us information about type of arrhythmia and further course of action.
My best wishes
