I have a hard time understanding how ALL these people with all these PCS symptoms do not know what their resting pulse (heart rate) and blood pressure is. It should be the first thing we learn about our bodies. A home blood pressure/heart rate kit cost $10 to $30.

My pulse can be as low as 60, as high as 95. My BP is usually 116/76 or there-abouts. When exercising, my pulse can hit 160.

When my brain is acting up, my BP can hit 200/155 or higher.

Knowing these things helps me deal with and often resolve the cause or at least reduce the high BP. Because my blood pressure can spike, I have some emergency prescription BP meds in the cabinet.
