Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it may be related to several causes (metabolic causes, hereditary, caffeine intake, etc.).
Do you have any family history for high blood pressure at a young age?
I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam and perform some other tests:
- chest X ray study
- resting ECG
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for possible adrenal gland dysfunction
- urinary metanephrines to exclude possible pheochromocytoma
- blood electrolytes
- an abdominal ultrasound to see to blood flow in the renal arteries.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
