Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these changes in blood pressure and heart rate values are quite normal.
They are related to a physiological reaction, which causes the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, leading to increased circulating levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure values.
Besides, these heart rate values are quite normal, during physical straining, considering your age.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
