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 a metabolic disorder (thyroid or adrenal gland dysfunction).
Anxiety could also mimic a similar scenario.
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- urinary metanephrines for possible pheochromocytoma
- liver and kidney function tests
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes.
I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequent times during the day and refer those values to your attending physician .
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
