Massage: Did you have oil applied to the skin ? If so, this coupled with dehydration and previous alcohol use can cause a sense of tiredness, or a throbbing of the pulses.

See your doctor: Hypertension is known as a silent disease, and what you are feeling may be related to something else. If your symptoms are indeed caused by elevated bp, then your control is inadequate.
