Are BP Of 144/78 And Pulse Rate Of 98 Normal?

Just checking to gauge concern. Husband, 71, experiencing excessive perspiration, skin cool and clammy. BP is 144/78 (usual BP is approximately 120/64), heart rate is 98 (usually 62), regular rhythm, perfusing well. No chest pain, no nausea. Should I be concerned?
