My question is, Is it out of line or normal safe range for me to run a pulse rate between 80 and 90 bpm when my blood pressure remains at 112 over 72?? My blood pressure has always been on the nice normal side and I have never taken medication for it. But whenever I have my pulse taken wether it's all the doctors office or Walmart is is between 80 and 90 beats per minute. Is that normal?? If not, how can I fix it? Thanks!

I do believe it's within the normal range for adults. I always thought mine was high (85-90) with good bp so I looked it up, and it seemed it was withing the acceptable range.

That's a little in the higher range of normal. Can you take your pulse at home when you're relaxed? A few times a day to see how it changes.
Also, if you get a little hot or have been standing for a bit your blood pressure can fall some. Your body's natural response is to increase heart rate to help correct that.

I tend to be anxious and have anxiety. The doctor visits always make it go up. But I feel normal at Walmart. But ya, I had been walking around and just plopped down by the pharmacy and took the blood pressure and pulse. My blood pressure is always nice and low/normal and the pulse is 80 to 90. I don't know. It's just weird. I just don't want to keel over dead. My husbands bp is higher than mine yet his resting pulse is 56. Cool as a cucumber. He is so mellow. We must be complete opposites. lol
