Hello!
Wellcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that it is important to perform a careful physical examination of the swollen arm to differentiate between A possible arm blood circulation disorder and a medication adverse effect.
Meanwhile, as blood pressure values are getting to lower trends, I recommend stopping the antihypertensive pill and consult the prescribing physician about the ongoing BP managemen strategy.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
