Your BP is likely making heart work harder and getting thicker. The higher aortic press is causing some back flow across aortic valve. This is NOT normal. Get home BP device use it & work with Drs to get BP to 120 or less. One of the safest and fastest ways to do this is to move to the DASH eating plan. Get this book and follow like your life depended on it. DASH diet by T Moore et al.
