Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure values are within the normal ranges.
Your symptoms could be related to anxiety or an electrolyte imbalance.
If the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with your physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- fasting glucose
- liver and kidney function tests
- blood electrolytes.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
