Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms are not typical of coronary artery disease.
Gastro-esophageal reflux or gastritis could be the cause of this symptomatology.
Anyway, considering his age and his family history, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and performing some tests:
- a resting ECG
- a chest x-ray study
- a cardiac stress test to exclude coronary artery disease
- some blood lab tests ( complete blood count, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose).
A fibrogastroscopy would help investigate for possible gastro-esophageal reflux or gastritis.
You should discuss with his doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
