Should I Be Worried Of Varying BP?
Should I be concerned of my bp is normally high (139/90 ish), but today my heart rate (normally 72) jumped way up to 200-something (while at rest), w/bp of 157/93, and then slowly lowered over the past 9 hours, and is now 68, with bp of 105/63 (I never have low bp)?

Hi,
You should have a 24 hour ECG monitoring as heart rate of 200 is not normal.
The underlying cause of arrhythmia should be determined and there may be a,need for treatment to prevent further events.
Take care
