Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that chronic anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency may influence in uncontrolled high blood pressure.
For this reason, I would recommend taking Vitamin B12, besides your current therapy.
I would also recommend reducing the dose of atorvastatin based on your blood lipid profile. It can cause chronic fatigue as a common adverse effect.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
