Hello,

When you are dehydrated you can have a fast heart rate and low blood pressure. This is the most common cause for such a presentation. 96/76 is not too low a blood pressure, but if the heart rate goes above 100 we have to rule out some causes like:
a) Hyperthyroidism
b) Anemia
c)Diabetes
d) High stress level
e)High caffeine use
f) Structural heart diseases
You should get a thyroid profile and complete blood count done in the first place. Then you should get a EKG done to rule out any conduction defects. You should reduce your caffeine use and reduce the stress level.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
