hypertension is not borderline high blood pressure, it is in fact high blood pressure! they're synonyms.

I'd STRONGLY recommend going to see your doctor.

as a 4th year medical student, about to be a doctor in a few short months, i can't concur with this enough! please go and see a doctor. what you are experiencing is not normal!!!!
as cityofangels has written: seizures and heart arrythmias can give you these feelings, as well as hyp
otension.
