Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your mother suffers from uncontrolled high blood pressure and hyperglycemia.

What is her actual therapy?

It seems that her blood pressure and diabetes therapy (if she has one), is not effective and some changes are needed to be done.

You should know that there is not a specific treatment for these disorders.

I recommend consulting with her GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and some lab blood tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels, HbA1C, cortisol plasma levels, blood electrolytes, PCR, sedimentation rate,etc.), to exclude other possible secondary causes of uncontrolled high blood pressure and hyperglycemia.

Some changes to her hypertensive therapy (a dose increase or adding another drug ) are needed.

Besides, you should also consult with her endocrinologist for some changes to her diabetes therapy. She may need to start insulin therapy if necessary.

I recommend you to consult her as soon as possible with the above specialists, to avoid possible complications of this situation (a possible brain stroke or coronary artery disease).

Hope to have been helpful!

Best regards,

Dr. Iliri
