Hello,
You are over weight & presently you are experiencing headache, shortness of breath, you have BP on the higher side with low pulse rate. You are in emotional stress. Take rest. Take plenty of water to help lower your blood pressure normally. You need mental and physical relaxation. You will be fine. Take simple, balanced home made food. Avoid taking oily food, trans fat, red meat and do regular morning in the morning and evening.
Take veggies and fruits in plenty. Shortness of breath is indicative of pulmonary hypertension. Hypertension can be indicative of developing carotid artery disease. You are suggested to get a routine cardiac tests done. Get clinically examined by a Cardiologist, get lipid function tests done, if tests are positive you may be required to do the other tests and investigations as well to stay on the safer side. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
