Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to the discomfort to the heat, as it seems that you do not tolerate it well.
There is no relationship between heat and blood pressure values. Anyway, I would recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude possible thyroid gland dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
