Thanks for contacting HCM. Most of the time BP is discovered accidentally while on a routine check as in majority of cases it has no symptoms. But it can be symptomatic when high, some like the ones you were having. Your systolic BP is alright but diastolic as 108 is way too high and thus you have symptoms. You need medication and life style changes to manage it. Regards
