Brief Answer:
Get your blood pressure checked.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Your question has been posted on a common pool where Dr. XXXXXXX may not be able to quickly take it up. Hence I have taken it up. I believe that I have the capacity to answer your query.

I would need to ask you:
* how long have you been hypertensive?
* Are you on regular medication? If so, what are they? Do you regularly take them?
* Your present BP. If not measured, please get it measured and let me know.
* Any gastrointestinal problems? I am looking forward to know if dysentery is likely.

If blood pressure is normal or low, I would insist you to take ORS (oral rehydration solution). If blood pressure is high, I would insist you to visit a doctor who would be able to administer suitable antihypertensives to bring the situation in control. Clinical judgement would be relevant and I would insist you not to ignore the situation.

Take steam inhalation. Water in form of vapor will reach deep inside and would help in diluting the chesty cough and would provide relief.

Let me know if I could help further.
