Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I would explain that increased sweating is not a common sign of high blood pressure. But it may be related to inflammation or an infection.

From the other hand, high blood pressure could also be caused by inflammation or infection.

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- resting ECG
- chest X ray study
- blood tests (complete blood count, inflammation tests, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose).

Further tests may be necessary to determine the cause of this symptomatology.

Hope to have been of help!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
