A member asked:

For the last 5 days my blood pressure machine indicates that my pulse is erratic.( no pain) i had facials surgery 7 days ago.could that be my problem?

No: It is very common for older adults to develop irregular heart rhythms. One of those rhythm disturbances is atrial fibrillation which can cause a number of complications including stroke. You need to be evaluated by health practitioner.
