Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I passed carefully through your concern and would explain that a possible bout of hypertension could be the cause of your complaints. Probably you need to optimize your current antihypertensive therapy.

Coming to this point, I recommend to closely monitor your BP values several times daily for a couple of days and refer them to your attending physician.

In addition, several lab tests should be checked to exclude possible secondary causes of hypertension and guide the therapy:

- complete blood count,
- thyroid hormones level,
- liver and renal function tests,
- fasting blood glucose,
- resting ECG,
- cardiac ultrasound,
- chest X ray study,
- blood lipid profile,
- uric acid

You should discuss with your doctor on the above mentioned issues.

Hope you will find this answer helpful.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
