Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your actual diastolic blood pressure values are a little low, but as long as you do not have any complaints, it is not a matter to be concerned.
If your aortic valve has been normal in your repeated cardiac ultrasounds, there is nothing to worry about.
I would recommend you continue being active and take plenty of fluids to remain well hydrated, especially during physical activity (which can lead to increased sweating and low blood pressure).
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
