Dear sir
As per your query you have
1. Increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.
It is very much essenstial to start a cardioselective betablocker like metaprolol, nebivolol, cardevelol once a day as it will control both blood pressure and heart rate.
Secondly before starting betablockers look for any respiratory disorders like bronchial asthma and COPD.
Check your heart rate and blood pressure at proper intervals atleast 3 times a day.
