Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
You have absolutely normal blood pressure.
If you are suspecting genetic tendency for high BP then it might be elevated until this age.You have 34 and have absolutely normal BP.According to few study it has been shown that with advancing age chances of increasing blood pressure is high.
Today patients are suffering from high blood pressure because of bad lifestyle habits, sedentary life style , smoking , fatty diet etc.
So if you have family history of hypertension regularly every three monthly check your blood pressure and maintain healthy life style with helthy diet.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
