Any relation to Hypertension with a regular heartbeat of 60 to 70 beats per minute while resting? -

I m thirty years old, and have always had an active lifestyle, I was diagnosed with hypertension earlier this year and I am now under medication. This had never been an issue until now.

Depending on your typical resting metabolic rate, your pulse could be fine. Hypertension has more to do with your blood pressure. Hypertension can be caused by various things, such as stress, or cardiovascular insufficiency. By the time there are indications, it is usually a combination of factors that have combined effects, so it is not usually a case one particular cause that did it. Send me your email address and I can forward a nutritional recommendation from an MD that practices nutritional medicine. Combining that with your medical treatment, you might eventually be able to reach a condition where your doctor would try taking you off the meds.

You omitted to say what your BP readings were, that gave rise to your so-called quot;hypertensionquot; diagnosis. Your pulse rate is fine; ideal, in fact. Almost quot;typicalquot;. 90% of quot;hypertensionquot; diagnoses are nonsense, and the probability is you re taking the pills for no purpose whatever It should be pointed out that the expression CO x TPR only gives Mean Pressure, and tells nothing about your systolic and diastolic pressures whatsoever.... So, for instance, you can multiply TPR (say 0.02... which is what the books say) by 5000 millilitres per minute until the cows come home, but it has absolutely no bearing on whether your Mean pressure (100 in this case) arises because your BP readings are 125/87 or 150/75 or any of millions of other figures, any of which can be described as hypertensive, hypotensive or the dreaded quot;normalquot;. The logic in Jongtzev s posting is completely flawed. Roger Bannister (the man who ran the first quot;4-minute Milequot;) had a resting pulse rate of about 55 bpm. His CO was normal, -just over 5 litres/minute-, and his stroke volume therefore was just over 90 ccs. He most certainly wasn t hypertensive! When tested at rest (after the race, and he had relaxed to normal pulse rate again) his BP was recorded as 135/ 75 mms/Hg, giving a Mean of 95... Do please explain that...?

That is a good heart rate ,you can tell you are active,but unfortunately other things cause hypertention,stress,herititary,number of things,but keep up with being active,it is good for your pressure.
