Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Before going for treatment for blood pressure go for regular BP checking and keeping record measuring morning and in the evening.
Go for ECG.
Go for checking blood for S. cholesterol and lipid profile and blood sugar as you are 37 of age.
After all reports and BP record go for treatment accordingly.
Reduce your weight.
Take less salt,fat and carbohydrates.
Ok and bye.
