Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your actual heart rate and blood pressure values are above the normal ranges.
From the other hand the frequent urination, could be a sign of an urinary tract infection, which could trigger this clinical scenario (increased heart rate and blood pressure values).
For this reason, I recommend you to consult with your attending physician and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes underlying your symptoms:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anemia
- PCR and ESR for inflammation
- blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance
- kidney and liver function tests
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- an urine analysis.
An abdominal ultrasound of the urinary tract would be necessary especially if suspicions of an urinary tract infection are raised.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
If all the above tests result normal, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of making some changes to your actual therapy (adding a beta blocker or a calcium channel blocker).
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
