Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully reviewed all your mother tests and would explain that all her performed tests are within the normal ranges except for vitamin D levels which have resulted too low and are indicative of vitamin D deficiency.
What is your mothers weight? Is she obese?
Vitamin D deficiency is not directly related to high blood pressure, but chronic low levels of vitamin D have been related to a higher risk for hypertension.
I would recommend performing other tests to investigate for the possible cause of high blood pressure:
- a resting ECG
- a cardiac ultrasound to examine her cardiac function and structure
- blood electrolytes ( potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride)
- uric acid levels
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction, which could lead to uncontrolled high blood pressure
I would also like to know her actual blood pressure and heart rate values? Antihypertensive therapy may be needed.
Meanwhile, I would recommend discussing with her doctor on the above issues and on the possibility of starting Vitamin D supplements.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
