A member asked:

Does my 53yr old husband need to be concerned about a blood pressure of 145/89? could this be causing a very slow heart rate recovery from exercise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is heart a concern?: Your concern would obviously be heart related. High BP could contribute to heart disease. And a slow heart rate recovery after exercise could indicate the presence of heart disease as well (or perhaps simply deconditioning). At his age with those factors, I think a stress test is in order.
