they just don't decrease BP enough to cause reflex compensation i guess

reflex tacycardia

It can be a side effect of a drug eg nifedipine.
Also , in the presence of decreased bp the physiologial response is reflex tacycardia . The latter is an attempt to get the heart the to settle this BP issue.
