Brief Answer:
Hypertension
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Your blood pressure is high and so is the heart rate. Heart rate can increase slightly after eating something cold but not to this extent.
Here are my suggestions
1. Check blood pressure and heart rate once again after three hours
2. If it is still high >140/90 I recommend you to be on a beta blocker.
3. I would want you to get evauated by a GP with ECG
4. Increased heart rate can be due to anxiety, anemia, thyroid dysfunction or vit b 12 deficiency, please get evaluated for this
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
