High blood pressure: It is unusual for one's blood pressure to rise to that level after multiple bowel movements and that amount of fluid loss. After that many diarrheal movements it's time to take some kaopectate or imodium and replenish your fluid loss. With rest, your blood pressure and pulse should return to your normal baseline level. Consult your physician if the situation doesn't normalize.
