You smoke and drink and have high blood pressure, so it is not surprising that your heart rate is increased and that your "temperment has also gone high." You don't give me your age or gender or occupation, activity level, etc.
My advice is that you stop smoking, drink alcohol only in moderation, and see a physician to get your blood pressure and general health under proper control.
