Which is worst of these 2? high pulse rate and blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: A high pulse rate (or fast heart rate) is not inherently dangerous as long as the fast heart rate is due to a normal heart rhythm (e.g. The fast heart rate associated with exercies). Similarly, elevated blood pressure is a normal response to exercise, but abnormally high blood pressure (or hypertension) can lead to heart failure, stroke, or coronary artery disease.
