Your pulse rate was high due to fever & you shouldn't worry a lot .As far as high bp is concerned you are not having high bp normal bp is 120/80 so yours was a bit on a lower side dizziness may be due to that but i should ask you for any medications for heart that you are on.Because nitrates cancause such dizziness.Also you should get cbc done because you spiked a fever & it may be infective.
Thanks to contact HCM.
