Heart rate is fine but blood pressure is slightly high because of the anxiety. You must do relaxing exercises like deep breathing, Pranayam, Yoga. Also eat more vegetables and lot of water daily for good health. You must visit a Psychiatrist who will be able to help you with CBT behavior technique and drugs if necessary to prevent the tremors, sweating and heart racing. Don't worry. Be cool. It can be treated well in modern medicine.
