Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that high blood pressure values could be related to the inflammation and infection.
Painkillers used to treat the pain and fever, can raise your blood pressure too.
Coming to this point, there is no need to start any anti-hypertensive therapy.
As soon as the inflammation and infection will be over, your blood pressure values will turn back normal again.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
