HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The low blood pressure and increased heart rate can be related to different possible causes such as: (1)your infection
(2)may be due to electrolyte abnormalities such as altered sodium
(3)may be due to dehydration
It would be best to be reassessed. Blood tests may be needed.
I hope this helps
