Greetings. Welcome to HCM and thank you for your question. I understand your concern.
There are some figures that are standardized for blood pressure in the population worldwide as normal blood pressure figures: systolic 100-139 mmHg and diastolic 60-89 mmHg. Blood pressure is an organism component that fluctuates many times a day. It is particularly a target of various physical activities, caffeine-based beverages, psychological stress, physiological hormonal changes, even position changes. And these changes happen in one day. Blood pressure can run some really high figures while engaging on a physical activity or while undergoing to a lot of psychological stress. I encourage you to continue to exercise regularly and stay fit. Therefore, from the above said, my opinion is that there is nothing to worry about, and the blood pressure and the heart rate figures are within range.
I hope I was helpful. Take care. Best regards.
