Hi Josh,
Welcome to HCM.
Exercise is highly recommended in cases similar to yours and I am glad that you have taken this step along with restriction in the intake of foods rich in fat. These are certainly steps toward your wellness.
In regard to increase in heart beat (or heart rate) during exercise, it is very normal. In fact the heart needs to increase its output to supply blood to the exercising muscles. However, I will advise you not to take your blood pressure medications immediately before or immediately after exercise particularly running. Since this will augment the increase in heart beat around exercise. Time your exercise with this information. If you have specific questions, then feel free to write in.
Hope this helps.
