Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that high bilirubin levels and high blood pressure are not related to each other.
The high levels of bilirubin could be related to the liver or billiary stones.
For this reason, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound and other liver function tests.
Regarding treatment with enalapril, you can safely continue to take it.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
