Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that there is no contraindication for using this class of drugs in your situation.
As you are not taking nitro pills, there is no risk.
I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure, especially if you are taking anti-hypertensive drugs, because when used together they may increase the risk for low blood pressure.
You can reduce the doses of your anti-hypertensive drugs (if you are taking any) the day that you will take the injection.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
