Blood pressure / heart health connection

[Sandy1710]

Hi all. Really pushing myself not to get an ecg to try and believe my heart is fine but as you all know with these pains it’s very heard. Can someone tell me the connection between heart and blood pressure. When I take my BP it’s nornally perfect. Normally is around 115/75 - 125-85. And my heart rate is anywhere between 57-70 when just motionless. Is this an indication my heart is probably ok?

That's a very good b.p!! Your heart is probably just fine,but I know the fear of the pains.. I got an EKG a few months ago and put my mind at ease!

Your BP and heart rate sound fine. I have had several ECGs and seen a cardiologist due to what I feel are missed beats and chest pain. All results were fine. I had got into the habit of constantly checking my pulse. Bought a fit bit yesterday and today have been panicking as heart rate changes in front of my eyes. Sounds like your chest pains are anxiety.

Worth going to GP for reassurance.

Thanks for replies. I haven’t exercised in two years due to this. But on Saturday I went for a 1km run. Then 5km bike ride Sunday and just done a short 4km bike ride tonight. Sorry I know that’s pathetic for a 26 year old man but I literally am so scared the whole time I am doing the exercise. All I think about is what my heart is doing. So I struggle with exercise. My readings ten minutes after exercise was 117/77 80bpm. This is no life...

You need to be doing 2 hrs of exercise daily your blood pressure is fine only take it when resting though, always warm up before doing exercise 15 mins gets your heart rate up in the 90s and also cool down about 10 mins of light exercise after your workout
