hai,
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a indication for heart related problems.
from your history, your hypertension may be a cause for Left ventricular hypertrophy.
LVH is not a disease. in certain condition like hypertension,aortic stenosis (defect in blood vessel),damage or disease in hear muscle will lead to LVH.
kindly do an ECG and consult a cardiologist to rule out the cause for your problem.
thank you
