Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, your headaches seem to be related to the uncontrolled blood pressure.
I would recommend you to consult with your GP and perform a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid function tests, and a chest x ray. An ambulatory 24 hour blood pressure monitoring is necessary to establish the diagnosis. You may need to start antihypertensive therapy.
Hope to have been helpful!
