Brief Answer:
Please, you need proper evaluation. Consult a doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these findings. A rapid heart rate and low blood pressure are both suggestive of a low blood volume. The possible causes could be dehydration or other disease conditions related to the heart, kidneys, etc. Treatment would be guided by what the identified cause is.

I suggest that you get evaluated and managed accordingly. Making a quick visit to the ER would not be a bad idea at this point.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
