Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: a panic attack or cardiac arrhythmia.
Thyroid dysfunction (especially considering the fact that you suffer from Hashimoto) could trigger this clinical situation.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
-a resting ECG
-complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
Other tests to consider would be: a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues!
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
