Hi welcome to HCM.
Low blood pressure in your case seem to be of autonomic dysfunction.Maintain adequate hydration with 3-4 liters of water.Drugs like fludrocortisone and midodrine will help to elevate the blood pressure.Elevation of foot end of bed is advised.Have a baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo to rule out organic heart disease.If these tests are normal,nothing needs to be done further.Consult your cardiologist for further care.
Thank you.
