Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg with all the above mentioned scenario is quite normal.
Your heart has problems and thickened ventricle with already decreased function, so in this scenario,please dont do excessive exercise. It will lead to increased workload on heart and will cause more thickening of the left ventricular wall.
You are overweight and that is also a cause of the heart an blood pressure issues. If the hypertrophy of wall of ventricle is reversible one, you may be alright soon. If irreversible, then things have to be taken care of more and more.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
