My resting blood pressure is 124/70, 102BPM. Exercising it's 142/80/74!! |
|
Ask me anything, but I need to ask how forcing the heart to pump LOWERS the pulse rate...
I am so :crazy: right now.

1. Stab in the dark, but could it be that with higher blood pressure, your |
|
body can't pump blood as quickly, causing your heart rate to slow down to accommodate.
Mine's 150/100 :-) Haven't found the right combination of drugs that will lower the pressure AND not cause things like potassium to skyrocket. Low blood pressure doesn't do you any good when you're dead.

4. The last Dr visit, he saw a near identical BP rating. |
|
(12x/7x/100)
He basically said to exercise and, yes, I am too sedentary for my own good.
But I had already come in from a 1/2 mile walk where I'd visited the neighboring book store, so I thought I'd simply shrugged it off.

You have to explain to him that your pulse DROPS when you exercise!
Now, I am only a software engineer who has helped design pacemakers, and not a doctor, but my understanding is that what you are seeing is a Bad Thing.
Please explain to your doctor (MONDAY AM) what you posted here. I really do believe that you may need to see a cardiologist.
I could be full of shit, but that is my understanding from what I am reading here.

7. Those quacks?! I'd rather die than give them more money. |
|
The last time I called them to talk to a nurse, they didn't believe me when I talked of lightheadedness and a heavy feeling in my legs.
I can't explain the legs portion yet, but lightheadedness is a legit problem from what I've just read.
You'd think they could put 2 and 2 together. Abnormally high pulse, lightheadedness... heck, given how normal my blood pressure is (between 110~124/60~80), one would think that combined with a high BPM, maybe my heart is starting to give out. I don't know. I don't think my doc does either; but they're a bunch of paint-by-numbers folks anyway; most of which decided my previous problem was anxiety when loand behold I had a disc pressing into my spine. Damn quacks.

But I don't want to have to read another eulogy thread around here.

6. Yes, definately see you doctor and explain it to him. |
|
I've always worked out, and I had a period of high blood pressure, and my doctor made me STOP working out because weightlifting and aerobics would raise my BP! I always wear a heart monitor when I work out, and my BP and heart rate ALWAYS increases.

9. When you're exercising, what exactly is taking your pulse? |
|
If it's the cheesy exercise machine handhold things, let it go. They're as accurate as the mainstream media is at covering bunnypants' many problems. Get a doc/therapist to measure it.
