Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your heart rate values are a little high, but this could be related to physical or emotional stress.
But, considering your past medical history, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels to exclude a possible thyroid dysfunction.
Hiatal hernia can play an important role in your increased heart rate too.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
