Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, it is possible to imagine that the cause could be low blood pressure that might have resulted from reduced contractility of heart muscles due to heart attack. In this case, the heart tries to compensate by increasing the rate at which it beats thereby increasing the pulse. Dizziness and numbness are as a result of a reduction in blood supply to the tissues.
I hope that helps
I wish you well
