Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that it is important performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis of your symptoms:
- a cardiac arrhythmia could be related to the episodes of shortness of breathing and gasping.
-anxiety could explain all your symptomatology. Are you feeling anxious lately?
-partial epilepsy seizures could also explain the episodes of trembling.
-a thyroid dysfunction could also lead to similar symptoms.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some tests:
- a resting ECG. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be necessary if suspicions of possible cardiac arrhythmia are raised.
- an EEG to examine your brain function
- blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the most probable cause of your symptomatology.
Hope to have been of help!
Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need.
Kind regards,

Hello again!
Thank you for the additional information!

Regarding your anxiety, I would advise you to consult with a specialist of this field.
Psychotherapy and a lot of physical activity would help manage anxiety. Medical treatment may be considered.
