Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your blood pressure values are a little low, but the most important is your heart rate, which is really low and indicative of bradycardia.
This heart rate is not normal, especially after physical activity.
Are you taking any betablockers or calcium channels blockers?
If this is the case, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of reducing their dose.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
