high blood pressure and low pulse rate
Hypertension = High Blood Pressure Tachycardia = High Pulse
The higher the blood pressure the faster your heart rate
No. In fact, their blood pressure is lower than what is considered normal. So is their pulse.
A high pulse rate (tachycardia) can have many causes including:DehydrationBleedingCongestive heart failureHeart attackAbnormal heart rhythmsFearAngerPainHyperthyroidism (and other hormone abnormalities)ExertionExcitementMedicationsPulmonary embolismFeverLow oxygen or other probelms breathing
High blood pressure can be attributed to stress, which can also cause a heightened pulse rate. High blood pressure can also be detrimental to one's health if they also have clogged arteries because it can increase the chances of heart disease or a heart attack.
High blood pressure
high blood pressue, glacouma
high potassium causes arrhythmias and the arrhythmias that it causes can reduce blood pressure causing someone to collapse.
A pulse in a person's arteries is felt as a wave of high pressure blood comes coursing through the vessel immediately after a heart beat. More specifically, the arterial pulse is felt as the jump in blood pressure from the diastolic pressure up to the systolic pressure. A person who has a narrow pulse width; for example 110/100 will likely have a weaker palpable pulse compared to a person with similar physique and a wider pulse pressure like 140/80.
By definition it wouldn't be "normal" to have a high pulse rate. If it was, it wouldn't be called high. But the pulse can be high for several reasons, nervousness, exertion, fighting off a cold...
A patient with low blood pressure an high pulse is most likely to be dehydrated. There are many other possibilities which her health care provider can help sort through.
