I just got my blood pressure checked, its ok but my pulse is 35,,,, then 34 BPM
I thought the machine was stuffed , so I checked at home 40 BPM
Not sure what to do I feel fine.
I stopped taking my Blood pressure medication for a few days, thats why I am keeping an eye on my BP
Don't know why you'd do that, but it IS your body.
Do you feel a little dizzy or light-headed when standing up after repose.?
What I have learned over the years, is that we are all different, and medical goals are based solely on averages.
The ácceptable' levels of any medical tests aren't really related to anything but data, averaged out ( to put it too simply).
If you are an active person, that would seem to be a low rate.
BUT, if you don't feel ill or light-headed after moderate exercise, and you are not bedridden, you may will represent an anomaly.
This is not to say you have a problem... you may just be very 'mellow'.
We are all individuals, and if you have no ill-effects, then I wonder why you were placed on specific medicine for it. What was your BP before you started meds. ? Do you know? How long have you been on these meds, before you stopped taking them? How old are you, and what is your weight?
Please PM if you'd prefer.
Cheers
