Anon - Do you have a family doctor that you trust? There is no reason why you can't make an appointment with your regular doctor to review your general health and to review the results of this report.
We are not able to provide you with an interpretation of your results or a diagnosis. It is apparent, however, that you need to work with a medical professional that you trust to both better understand this information and to follow up as needed. You said that you have hypotension ( low bp) but you've also reported data showing mild systemic hypertension (high blood pressure). This is contradictory information, and your family doctor can take your entire medical history, as well as the results of your cardiac catheterization, to help you understand the results, determine if additional tests are needed, and work with you to manage your health concerns.
The New York Times Health Guide has good information on the procedure that may also help you in better understanding it, and the questions you need to ask: http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/test/cardiac-catheterization/overview.html
Your local heart association, or a cardiac care support group might also be helpful too. Several patients have mentioned that they like the Heart Hub for Patients and you may too. http://www.hearthub.org/
Let us know if this helps, and we wish you the best. Pat
