A member asked:

What to do if i am on iron pills. why would i have a pulse of 49 and blood pressure reading of 135/81?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Iron pills generally are given for (iron deficiency) anemia. The pills have nothing to do with your bp.

Can you have a pulse of 96 and not have any blood pressure reading at all? I mean wouldn't you have at least a high or low blood pressure, certainly having a pulse. Thanks if you will answer, much appreciated?
