<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.my blood pressure is 160 over 101 and pulse rate is 90. Head feels kinda tight and have had several cold sweats in the past couple of days. Chest hurt a couple of days ago and had a cold sweat. Is this dangerous? I am 56 5 10 and weight is 160. I take Alprazolam 4 times a day.  <response>: Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your actual blood pressure values are above the normal ranges. The cold sweats could be related to a possible viral infection. Have you measured your body temperature? Do you have fevers? Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a chest X-Ray study- a resting ECG-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- kidney and liver function tests-fasting glucose- urinalysis for infection. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Meanwhile, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values and refer them to your doctor. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
