Hello Welcome to HCM I have gone through your description. You have high BP hence your doctor has started you on medications. Your heart rate of 80 bpm at rest and 106 BPM on activities is normal. You have not mentioned any symptoms of chest pain or breathlessness or chest discomfort so the probabilities of angina are low. TAB ismo also has am additional effect on reducing BP. Since you have no symptoms you can stop taking ISMO. However since your doctor feels you have some caridax issue we must get you evaluated for the same. Please do a ECG and a stress test. Stress test requires you to walk on a treadmill while your ECG is continuously recorded. This will help estimate if you have blockages in your heart. Please do that above tests and revert back with the results. Wishing you good health. Regards.
