Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that these heart rate and blood pressure values are not concerning. I would just recommend increasing the dose of Folpik if your blood pressure values continue being above the normal ranges.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
