Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.

Normal blood pressure standardized in the world population is: systolic 100-139 mmHg, diastolic 60-89 mmHg. According to your age, it is uncommon, although not impossible, to have high blood pressure (hypertension). The blood pressure can go up and down during one day, because a myriad of reasons. It is recommended that you check your blood pressure after being 15 minutes in relaxing state and sitting. You could also be put on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor, to check your BP throughout a day, and decide whether this is a some-times a day thing, or it is a constant finding. You must remember that various drinks, such as xanthyne derivatives (coffee, tea) and energy drinks, then moderate-to-strenuous physical activity, or excessive stress or anxiety, tend to increase the blood pressure. I would also suggest you to reduce the amount of salt you eat. Also, if you have episodes of occasional or binge drinking (hence, probably, the liver enlargement), you should restrict its intake to 30 g ethanol a day (i.e. one beer, one glass of wine or one shot of a heavy drink, such as bourbon, vodka, gin etc.). In the end, don't forget to measure your blood pressure in both arms.

I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask again. Take care.
