Hello,
Consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like pheochromocytoma and other hormonal problems also. You might require intravenous drugs like Lasix or Labetalol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
