Brief Answer:
Do you have any symptom like feeling faint, weak, etc

Detailed Answer:
Hi and then you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this unstable blood pressure and pulse that you have mentioned. If you have any symptoms such asfeeling faint, tired, etc then I will recommend that you go ahead and get at least an EKG to rule out any possible arrhythmia of the heart. if all is okay, I will recommend that you relax and drink much fluid. Anxiety could be contributing as you get further concerned about this. Try tostay calm and relaxed about it.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
