General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Resting heart rate of 84 is not a matter of concern. Normal would be around 72 beats per minute. But it varies +/- 10 beats everyday.
Since all other things are normal and you are also taking good amount of precaution, there is nothing much you need to be worried about.
Kindly get the following things done to stay healthy.
1. Diabetic screening for Fasting and Post Prandial blood glucose once a year.
2. Fasting lipid profile once a year.
3. Blood pressure monitoring once in 6 months.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
