No - they are two independent functions of your body.

absolutely not. my blood pressure has been 120/80 even

though my pulse was 140. normal pulse for me at the time was 60.

i've also had a normal pulse rate with BP of 150/90. blood pressure can vary but it should not be consistently above

140/90. if you're having high BP at the doctor's office, check

it at home. some people have white coat syndrome where the

BP shoots up as soon a nurse or doctor comes to take it.
