• Low pulse and BP?

Lately, at rest, my pulse is below 60 and the bottom reading of my blood pressure is either at 60 or slightly above this it. The top is over 150 most of the time These numbers are unusual for me. Also, I have been having on and off chest pain for about the last three weeks. Any ideas?

Please go to the emergency room if youre having chest pain. Go straight there. Hope you feel better soon.

Hello, You are taking medications that can alter your Pulse and Blood pressure. If you are having symptoms of feeling drowsy, syncope fainting, or other symptoms that are not your usual, please schedule with your Primary Care Provider PCP. I encourage you to hydrate yourself as well. Try to drink 1.52.0 L water daily, if you are not currently on a fluid restriction. Continue to keep a log of your Pulse and Blood pressure. Start checking both in the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed, and log in notes on your telephone or in a notebook. Take the readings to your PCP. If you start having a Pulse lower than 60 and are having symptoms, please go to the ER. Thank you

You should get checked out by doctor...probably meds for your bp and an ekg or echocardiogram to asses the heart...
