Hi,
Thanks for posting the question in HCM
I understand your concern
in view of your age and high blood pressure I think that you need a physical examination by a neurologist and if required a CT scan to exclude a remote possibility of bleeding in the brain surface. So, I suggest you to get evaluated.
Please feel free and let me know in case you need any help
Best wishes,
