I am 60 yrs old female. I have a few anxiety producing things happening in my life right now. I take blood pressure meds and my blood pressure is always good. This past week my pulse rate hase increased to around 105 and stays there. Is that cause for concern?
Hello, Regarding your concern, I would explain that the increased pulse rate could be related to anxiety.  Nevertheless, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance), in order to exclude possible metabolic disorders that may mimic this clinical situation.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
