Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is normal to have higher blood pressure values during pain, physical or emotional
stress.
From the other hand, these values of blood pressure are really high, and further investigations are needed to determine any other possible causes.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor and performing further tests:
-
thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- a chest X ray study
- urinary metanephrines for possible pheochromocytoma
- an abdominal ultrasound
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
-
kidney and liver function tests
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Meanwhile, I would recommend some lifestyle modifications to help maintain a normal blood pressure:
- reduce salt and caffeine intake
- perform a lot of physical activity (walking,
aerobics, etc.)
- reduce weight if you are
overweight.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
