Is low pulse with high blood pressure dangerous for an elderly woman?
My grandmother just told me that her blood pressure this evening was 147/113 and her pulse was 47. She has been having nose bleeds lately as well, and is often tired. She had a significant stroke in 2004, and a few TIAs since, so anything associated with her bp and/or heart concerns me. I just want to know if it is dangerous, as she is too stubborn to let me call the doctor unless I know something is seriously wrong!

THen I suggest calling the DR. before she is dead from a stroke! I am seeing a Dr now for heart dysrythmia, and the signs above are ones that are mentioned time and time again for heart disease!
