Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for posting the question in HCM

I understand your concern

in view of your age and high blood pressure I think that you need a physical examination by a neurologist and if required a CT scan to exclude a remote possibility of bleeding in the brain surface. So, I suggest you to get evaluated.

Please feel free and let me know in case you need any help

Best wishes,

Dr Gopal K Dash
