Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern,I would explain that your symptoms may be related to different disorders and a differential diagnosis should be performed.

The pain in your lower extremities may be related to a peripheral artheropathy or to a lumbar spine compression.

I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination, a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels and a lumbar spine x ray, to establish the diagnosis.

Regarding your blood pressure, some tests like a resting ECG, a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes to find out the possible cause.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
