hello,
welcome to HCM.
DONT PANIC.
It shows your sbp is very high.
most probably you checked it after exercise or under anxiety(most common physiological causes).
the target should be below 140/90.
isolated high systolic bp causes hypertrophy of cardiac muscle.
you should check it at rest.and consult a cardiologist.
you need to do some biochemical test and an echocardio.
hope this is helpful.
regards.
