Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have mildly elevated blood pressure. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sleep apnea , kidney problems , adrenal gland tumor , thyroid problems , defects in blood vessels , medications like decongestants , pain reliever or stress . The normal range of blood pressure is 120/80 - 140/90 , so the is slight elevation in systolic blood pressure . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination and rule out above mention conditions . Doctor may prescribe calcium channel blockers , betablockers along with diuretics . For now continue your cardio workout and stay relax by doing meditation and yoga , also reduce your salt consumption .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
