Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What does it mean that my pulse rate is 57 but I am experiencing some problems with my blood pressure. It is 179/82. My normal heart rate is in the 60's. I take Lisinopril (just went up to 40 - 20 twice a day). I am in my 60's. This has just started. I am experiencing allery & sinus problems right now as I do every spring.
You base line pulse rate is around sixty and thus pulse rate of 57 is not a matter of concern. You have to consult your cardiologist and get your blood pressure under controlled. Additional antihypertensives may be required in some cases.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
