If you look at the results from the 3 day test I preformed, you will notice my blood pressure did drop but my heart rate did go up. Yes I did schedule an appointment with a cardiologist after my resent yearly physical I just had. This is why I decided to test myself out with the Actipatch to see what results I get since there where claims by other posters about reducing their blood pressure using the patch. I took pictures of all my results at Rite Aid to show the Cardiologist.
