Every single time I check my blood pressure—which usually runs on the lower side of normal—my heart rate ends up being higher than my bottom number. For example, if I’m at 99 over 70, my pulse might be sitting at 80. Or if I'm at 120/80, my heart rate jumps to 93. A few doctors have actually asked me about this and wondered if I've been tracking it, but honestly, nobody has given me a straight answer.
What could this actually mean? Is there something specific I should be looking into?
Aside from that, I’d consider myself pretty healthy—no known heart issues or major illnesses. Plus, there isn't really any history of heart disease in my family...
At least three different people have expressed concern when I mentioned it, but they wouldn't really explain anything even after I told them it's always been this way. One doctor did mention something about a pre-infarction state, though. 😢
Does anyone have any thoughts or maybe a similar experience?
