Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Olmesartan (Olmezest) is a drug from the angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) family. This family is safe and effective to be used with the aim to control the blood pressure. If I would be your doctor, I would choose a beta-blocker as a first-lıne treatment, beacues they also reduce heart workload, beside lowering the blood pressure. It is a matter of choice, and I do not have anything opposite to the current therapy you are on, as long as the blood pressure levels are under control. As for the liver function profile, they have to be increased at least two-fold above the upper normal range, in order to be sought a pathological process. There are many food and beverages, especially alcohol, sometimes even in small amount, that raise the liver function enzymes. So, I think there is nothing to worry about. However, I would recommend you to run these tests again after three or six months.
I hope I was helpful. Take care. Kınd regards.
