It depends: A BP of 103/60 is not considered abnormal or low unless you are dizzy, feel faint or lightheaded. Your blood pressure will fluctuate depending on your stress, and anxiety level and yes within minutes. Your heart rate is high thought and this can be secondary to stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine, fatigue, pain, lack of sleep among others.
