Suggest Treatment For Low Blood Pressure And High Pulse Rate

I m trying to determine if I should go to ER or can I wait to go to my PCP on Thursday (they are closed on Weds) My symptoms are: Low blood pressure for the last 2 days. I have been monitoring it. Averages around the 110/68. Tired Sluggish Pulse rate is high off and on. Last check it about 2 hours ago and it was normal. 2 hours before that it was 88. 2 hours before that it was 82. When my pulse is racing, my head starts throbbing. I can feel my heart beating in my head....if that makes sense. I feel like I have a weight sitting on my chest and it is hard to take a deep breath.

Hello I have gone through your question.first of all let me tell you that pulse rate of 82 or 88 is not high.yes blood pressure is slightly on lower side.normal pulse rate varies between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Regarding your symptoms of chest discomfert ,I feel that it could be acid reflux and you may take Tab.Rabeprazole 20 mg once a day, take adequate liquids.however we must get ECG to rule out heart problem.if your chest discomfert is aggravated by exertion and relieved by rest it may be heart related and you must go early.otherwise no harm in waiting for few days.
My best wishes.
