What Causes Drop In Pulse Rate?
I used to have extremely non-responsive high blood pressure and through walking a lot lost 80 pounds. My blood pressure is normal now without prescriptions however for at least the past four years my resting pulse rate has been 100-120. For about a week now my pulse rate has dropped by half but my blood pressure is still normal. Last reading this morning was 128/70 pulse 35. I only feel a bit faint the past week.

Hi,
Heart rate of 35 bpm is not normal and may be an effect of a serious arrhythmia, you should see a doctor and perform an ECG to find out what's going on with your heart.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
