Hi.Thanks for your query on HCM.As per your question reasons for rise in your BP depends on many factors which includes food rich in calories and fat and sugar,lack of exercise or being overweight.restrict too much salt in your diet as it plays major role in increasing the BP.Avoid any smoking habits if present.May be you are suddenly stressed due to father's death.Hypertension becomes a common problem above 40years of age in general.Don't be stressed.Take low sodium diet and get your BP checked in between by your physician and he will prescribe you medication also as your BP is considerably high.Hope this information helps you.take care.
