Hi There

After reading the details provide by you i would like to advise few routine tests to get to a clue of your problem.
1. ECG 2. Chest Xray 3. 2D Echo and one blood test CBC

You need to monitor your BP daily for a week at same time everyday after relaxing for 10 mins to see av average of your BP.

Get these tests done and consult a doctor. also you can take a opinion here

Good Luck
