Is Swimming Dangerous For High Blood Pressure?
I have been getting PVC for the last 6 months after starting swimming with the objective of loosing weight. Coupled with lower than usual blood pressure 100/69 ( used to be around 120/75). Lost 30 pounds since last December and would like to continue the swimming but concerned that it might be dangerous.

Hi
Up to 6 PVC's per minute isn't necessarily worrisome and in general no problem with the swimming assuming that you've discussed this with your doctor
