What Causes Low Pulse Rate?

just dx with htn 170/100. Next week bad headache - went to ED. Bp there was 220/120. Given lasix,benadry,compazine. CT scan negative for brain bleed. Past few days, pressure better, but high at night. No headaches, but pressure in temple area. Have been on Hctz 25 mg, started a day before ED visit. Put on Lisinopril 10 mg, yesterday. BP much lower, but pulse is high - never was an issue. Body feels heavy, and sluggish when doing Adls. What the heck is going on?

Hi,

It can be due to recent blood pressure variations. I would advise you to see your doctor and discuss the possibility of beta blocker. It will help to control your blood pressure and will decrease your pulse.

Wishing you good health
