Resting pulse rate: Your resting pulse of 106-119 could be the sign of a problem. Resting tachycardia (rapid pulse) (t) could be a sign of fever, blood or water loss, low oxygen concentration in your blood, hyperthyroidism and fever, among others. Perhaps your t is in response to your low bp. If you have symptoms of weakness or dizziness go to an er for help. If not, see a physician for an examination and blood work.

Merits evaluation.: The high heart rate merits a careful evaluation. One should have a careful exam including a history and physical exam, blood tests, including thyroid function (TSH), blood counts, kidney function, and a urinalysis. Hyperthyroidism, dehydration, infection, heart valve abnormalities and, less common, a pheochromocytoma, can all cause a high heart rate.

Check BP at rest: BP is very sensitive to many physical and emotional activities. So the only reliable reading is that obtained at rest...When you are not rushed; relaxed and not uncomfortable due to anything else going on in our day. So check it after resting in the chair or bed for a while and do it for 4-5 days in a row. These reading will help your doctor to know your real BP and when to treat it with medicines.
