Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for writing.
I think you might be suffering from gastroenteritis with symptoms of loose stools and fever.
I would advise you to do the following:
Drink ORS oral rehydration solution, tender coconut water etc.
Have Toast,rice gruel etc.
Take probiotics like lactobacillus. They help in maintaining normal gut flora.
Take a paracetamol for the fever.
Stop phenergan syrup
Most cases of viral gastroenteritis will subside in 24-48 hours.
Stress can also cause an increase in BP. However, you need to get your blood pressure checked again as it is 150/100 which is quite high.
Hope this information was helpful.
