Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Noten is a beta blocker and olmetec is an angiotensine II receptor blocker.This is a combination that can have your BP under control.However, slurred speech and loss of balance may signal a cerebro-vascular problem to investigate.The short duration of symptoms may have been a transient ischemic attack since being hypertensive increases your rick of such brain problems.I will advise you see a Doctor for a brain scan.Waiting for a month will not be the best given the severity of what we suspect in your case.
I will however encourage your try regular physical exercises, reduce salt intake and rest well.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
