Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different possible causes:
- a lung disorder or asthma
- low blood pressure
- chronic anemia
- anxiety.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X Ray study and pulmonary function tests
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anemia
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance
- PCR and ESR for inflammation.
If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of all your complaints.
Meanwhile, I would advice you to closely monitor your blood pressure values to exclude possible low blood pressure which could mimic all this clinical situation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
