heart disease
Jim J asked:


I’ve been monitoring my BP for the past few months. My overall average is 118/76, normal. I know there are other factors for having heart disease, but isn’t it normally indicative of a good strong normal heart? I do get daily papiltations, but have had those for years. They freak me out, last about 5 seconds, but never any pain.

      Like most things concerned with your health there are two main components. Your life style and your heritage. So, if you think you are in good shape thats grand. But, you really should know your families medical history.

      If your blood pressure is normal, as yours is, then your likelihood of getting heart disease is less than that of a person who suffers from high blood pressure.

      Likely absent, yes. Absolutely absent, absolutely not.

      I had BP readings like that when I was admitted to the hospital for 5 weeks due to heart disease.

      Are those palpitations trying to tell you something? There is such a thing as a silent heart attack (no pain).

      Get it checked out.

      For your electricity has problem that controls the irregular heart is bad but if needed depending on the walls that information palpitations once they have that doesnt mean your electricity has problem that is like the plumbing is like the veins and support to your heart is like the heart the rhythm that bring.
      The rhythm that doesnt mean your heart to problems to identify the plumbing is like the veins and arteries that provide strength and left.

      This is not true at all, yes it is good to have normal blood pressure,but you can also have a heart attack from palpitation’s which are electrical rhythms,there are different types , a-fibs, d- fibs, all can be deadly .Low blood pressure does not in any way shape or form guarantee you will not have a heart problem, the source of the palpatations must be found by wearing a 24 hour moniter.
