I have been monitoring my blood pressure and heart rate for the past few days.I have recorded my heart rate at 134 at rest. My monitor has also highlighted an irregular heart beat on numerous occassions.Yesterday evening in a space of 30 minutes my blood pressure varied from 132/116/101 to 110/69/121. Is this a cause for concern.
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. It would have been great help if you had mentioned your age and if you are suffering from any symptoms. Since your monitor shoes a raised pulse rate and as per your description it is irregular, I recommend you an ECG initially and if the ECG comes normal, then a 24 HR Holder monitoring should be done which records your ECG for 24 hrs while you go about your routine day-to-day activities. It will show whether you have any heart rhythm disturbances. Variable BP reading in 30 mins seem unlikely. Electronic monitors cannot be perfectly relied upon for BP recording. So I do not see the need to worry about the BP. Checking BP so frequently implies that you are anxious. Please stop worrying about your BP. Check it only once a week at variable times of the day. Wishing you good healthRegards
