Few days back, I was walking alongside Ganges
river, suddenly I saw a policeman sitting on the top of an official and big elephant. I saw that elephant was reacting to a man as the man didn't get aside of his path and upon seeing this even the policeman started scolding/abusing him.
Soon within a minute, that elephant came nearby me and I was also walking aside in reverse direction. Heart started pondering. But soon I realized that I am not here to fight with policeman and/or elephant, so I got more aside and simply observe them as passing-by.
Moral of the story:: you don't have to react. Let it pass-by. Reaction or even thinking/intentions about reaction is gonna give you trouble like with that other man alongside Ganges

I feel the same before before. Can try some physical exercise that suitable to you? Just my 2 cents as below.
Well, I am used to have intensive sport exercise like HIIT (High Intensitity Interval Training) which I believe most effective way to temporary distract u from unwanted mind thought and release endolphin (a chemical inside your body to make you feel good) then heavy tingling gone, BP normal and sleep normal. This is not for everyone as I have been lingering around at Gym for years and need a lot of training for HIIT. Since listen to Buddhism talk then I reduce my HIIT training gradually for stress management. HIIT effects only last for 48 hours provided optimal HIIT training.
If u would like to try physical exercise then suggest to seek for a gym personal trainer consultant or u may ask the gym instructor for some advice that suitable for u.
When things get normal then can try metidate again. At set of home use BP device and heart rate smart watch help a lot too. Optimal BP and heart rate reading should not have this issue for me.

As you progress in meditation you will start feeling sensations in different parts of your body. At some point, you will feel sensations thought out the body.
There is nothing to get alarmed. Also, do not get attached to it. Simply continue your meditation.
Do not avoid any areas and also do not stay long in any area than others.

What you experienced is perfectly common. What's really going to blow your mind, however, is that the sensation you were feeling is probably always there. You are only experiencing at the forefront of consciousness because your mind is more relaxed and open during and just after a meditation session. What you are experiencing is really the meat and potatoes of Buddhist meditation practice. Our normal, day to day consciousness is utterly incapable of perceiving the vast majority of what constitutes reality. We go along, blissfully unaware, of all sorts of subtle details. When we sit, however, our mind begins to open to a very different subset of phenomenon. In the context of Buddhist practice, obviously we want use that bright, open, malleable, and unblemished mind (to paraphrase the Buddha) for the purposes of direct insight into the four noble truths, the destruction of the cankers, etc. as this kind of insight is unavailable to our mundane consciousness. That's the ideal, anyway. As we go along in our practice, however, that same luminous mind can also shine its beacon into other dark corners of reality. These are of less benefit, spiritually speaking. They can also be distracting or come to represent some fairly massive obstacles (e.g. in the form of attachment to non-ordinary experience). It's generally best to just let them go. They're just going to get in the way.
