How many seconds (or minutes) must your hand be submerged in ice water to be considered to have a high pain tolerance in a cold pressor test?

All research I can find on the cold pressor test only discusses the fact it does or should raise BP. I did this test on my self and within 1 minute my BP went from 148/82 to 72/58 followed by passing out and then vomiting. What caused that?

Why do I have a paradoxic vasovagal reaction when I stick my hand in ice water? Why is my reaction never normal during this test compared to almost everyone else?

What can be the reason of an abnormal high pain tolerance result in quantitative sensory testing with cold pressor in hands and feet?
