I have been diagnosed with low blood pressure, but now it's getting normal. I can't walk in a straight line anymore. If my blood pressures normal, could it be that my heart is pumping too fast? (my blood pressure is usually 112/ 65 and I am 17 yrs old and weigh 130 lbs.)

You need to see a doctor because lots of different conditions can cause a high pulse rate. You should be tested to see if you are anemic as this can cause an elevated heart rate. You should also have your thyroid tested and a high pulse rate can also be a symptom of diabetes. Your doctor should also give you a stress test. basically you need to see a doctor because he/she might have to put you on medication such as beta blockers to slow your rate down. a high pulse rate is a sign of heart disease so go see your doctor.

Your pulse rate is high because your blood pressure is low. If you medication is causing you problems it needs to be adjusted or changed. 112/65 is within range so you should be feeling better. If you are fainting and can not walk in a straight line talk to the doctor.

Postural hypotension !!
That is a typical description of postural hypotension with reflex tachycardia .
You probably are DEHYDRATED .
Or maybe you are abusing some hypertension medication ??
Also you need to check out your HORMONES , like Addison's disease .
Postural change in pulse is even more specific for HYPOVOLEMIA than blood pressure changes .
Hypovolemia means the volume of blood in your body is smaller than normal . Itis not dangerous in itself , but it might be part of a more dangerous pathology .

I am worried about you
especially your pulse rate
if you are fainting alot there could be something serious
I am also thinking if you get up fast in the morning
and those fainting spells occur
this could be postural hypotension
have your doctor check you out.
the doctor needs to know about your fainting spells.

Your blood pressure is great, but your pulse should be only 45-60 at your age.
Do you suffer anxiety, or are you going without meals?
I would have a doctor check you out thoroughly to see why your pulse is so high!

that's a normal blood pressure. You really need to see a cardiologist.
