Hello, thanks for posting a question on our site. Gastritis can not increase blood pressure. A normal heart rate is between 60-100 bpm, your heartbeat is normal.Your cholesterol level is slight high. A high cholesterol value increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. I advise you continue the Lipitor and Avevasc as prescribed by your physician. Best regards
