Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding you BP concern I would recommend to check first your equipment: Is it well calibrated?!!
Your increased pulse pressure (difference between systolic and diastolic readings) should be investigated to find the reason. A valvular heart disease (like aortic regurgitation). increased thyroid function, hypovolemia (excessive diuretics effet), may be possible reasons. Nevertheless, I would recommend to discuss wit hyour attending physician about these possibilities, and for a pissible modulation of yout antihypertensive treatment.
Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
