Hello
Thanks for writing in.
If you are not a regular hypertensive on medication you are definitely having high blood pressure right now, alongwith bradycardia ( reduced heart rate ).
Please visit the ER, particularly as you are sweating, and this could indicate a cardiac condition.
A panic attack or stress also could cause this, but it merits an emergency evaluation.
All the best.
