hi
you should be concerned with your diastolic pressure, which is very important.this indicated that the resting pressures are high , with changes in the ventricle wall.
your opinion from the cardiologist is mandatory to rule out diastolic dysfunction status grading of the heart, which can be due to uncontrolled or prolonged duration of hypertension.
your treatment can vary in relation to the echo findings.
all the best
