Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears that there is lot of variation in blood pressure, which could be caused due to stress.
You can keep it under control by following means:
1. Intake of salt in the diet should be restricted.
2. Keeping your mind calm and healthy by practice of meditation.
3. Regular and proper intake of prescribed medications.
Kindly take these measures to bring down the blood pressure and keeping it under control.
Practice to have a healthy lifestyle as much as possible.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
