I have been feeling extremely tired my heart has been beating fast and slow and I feel like my blood is thick running through my body and my head hurting has been making me feel like I m confused or in a dream it s kinda starting to scare me Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Considering this change in your blood pressure values, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:  -a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound - a chest X ray study - complete blood count for anemia - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction - blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance - fasting glucose - kidney and liver function tests - blood electrolytes.  Starting anti-hypertensive therapy may be needed.   Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing good health,  Dr. Iliri
