Define "this": It's normal that hr is unaffected by even severe blood pressures. In fact, paradoxically, at very high blood pressures, low heart rate can develop for reasons that don't particularly matter (it's a reflex arc). What's not normal is a top number of 160 (systolic) and bottom (diastolic) of 110. If this is a reproducible finding, you have stage 2 hypertension and need to be on a few BP meds.
