Brief Answer:
you might need to do carotid doppler study
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
On straining it exerts pressure on abdominal cavity and raises pressure in thorax thus increasing pressure on heart.
So increase in pressure in neck can be sometimes seen in excessive straining but thrill won't be felt.
I feel you should do a carotid doppler scan of neck to see any abnormalities in the arteries and veins of neck.
Hoarsness of voice can have multiple reasons.
Is it constantly there since 3 weeks or is it on and off? Like comes and goes suddenly.
Do you have swelling in neck in thyroid region?
Any difficulty in swallowing?
Any associated fever?
Do you have any sore throat or infection?
Kindly answer me above questions so I can get more information about your problem.
Thank you

Get a doppler carotid and ultrasound neck for thyroid

Ok. I feel it could be something related to thyroid only.
And for thrill we need to do doppler study of the carotid.
So kindly get done doppler study and also ultrasound of neck to rule out any localised mass effect in neck causing hoarsness of voice.
