Are you sure it's not HTN? This is usually the acronym used for hypertension, not "HBP".
An N (in HTN) could look like a W ("HTW"😉, when handwritten.

I'm not sure. The doctor's handwriting is so bad, it could be an N. The hypertension fits,
though, because she has high blood pressure and the HBP is my acronym for it. You're probably
right. Thank you.
