Why do i have low blood pressure, but high heart rate?

Also, my lower legs (skin) is painful to the touch??? and if i%26#039;m lying down, i can feel my heart shake my whole body when it beats, and i can%26#039;t seem to get enough sleep....help????



Why do i have low blood pressure, but high heart rate?

usually when the blood pressure is low, the heart tries to compensate for decreased blood output by beating faster. makes sense doesn%26#039;t it? cuz the heart%26#039;s main job is to pump blood.



however, it%26#039;s not normal for your heart to shake your body when it beats. i think you%26#039;re having what they call %26quot;palpitations%26quot;. palpitations + lack of sleep and painful skin right below the knees could point to %26quot;hyperthyroidism%26quot;. have you also been feeling agitated lately or lost weight even though you%26#039;re eating normal? please see your doctor real soon and check your thyroid. hope everything works out. it will...as soon as you see a doctor :)
