Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that although your blood pressure values are slightly elevated, they are still within the normal ranges.

The raise in blood pressure values is quite normal in this situation as a normal physiological reaction of the sympathetic nervous system.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
