Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.
You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg.A person might have high value during emotional and physical strees so its mandatory to judge on mean values.
Hypertension is divided into two groups.
Essential hypertension,usaly in older age that is a chronic disease and it should be treated all live long and
secondary hypertension, meaning that it's a secondary couse of it.This might be a
renal disease, an endocrine problem or a
cardiovascular disease.It is most common in younger ages.
If you have
high blood pressure values you might experience
headaches,
dizziness,
nausea,
tachycardia.
So,if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and valves, a full blood analyze, your urinary chatecolamins, an abdominal echo to evaluate renal structure and a holter pressure monitoring to see your mean values.
After these we can better judge what we are dealling whith and how to treat it.
Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards, Dr.Ervina
