Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry. I ll try to explain and give you my opinion. You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean values that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg.A person might have high value during emotional and physical strees so its mandatory to judge on mean values. Hypertension is divided into two groups. Essential hypertension, usaly in older age whithout an identified cause. It is a chronic disease and it should be treated all live long . Secondary hypertension is common in younger ages, meaning that it s a secondary couse of it.This might be a renal disease, an endocrine problem or a cardiovascular anomaly. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze, your urinary chatecolamins and a holter pressure monitoring. After all this we can better judge your mean values during day and night, we can understand if we have to do with hypertension and how to treat it. Hope I was helpfull. Best regards, Dr.Ervina.
