Are you taking meds?  Sound like you are completely hypo. When I was hypo and not taking synthroid, I had many of those symptoms. After being on them for awhile my BP and heart rate have gone back to normal.  You need to go the a free health clinic or Emergency room asap!

You really need to see a GP or an endo, we can only guess what you have but you need to be treated. Your health is important see to it that you at least you get treated for your high BP. Emergency rooms don't turn people away.
