        <title>High blood pressure</title>
        <description> Today I had an A-fib attack that lasted for about a couple of hours. But my heart rate was up in the high hundreds. I took a 30 mg diltiazem and half a Xanax.  My blood pressure is typically on the low  side.  I haven&amp;#039;t done this before but today I took my blood pressure while I was in AFib. The highest the top went was 165/88.  But the bottom pressure went up to 114.  This concerned me.  Not sure if it is dangerous or what I should do if it stays that high for a longer period of time.   Is this normal?</description>
