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 different causes: anxiety, chronic anemia, thyroid dysfunction, an electrolyte imbalance or a cardiac arrhythmia.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- a chest X Ray study
- a 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time
- thyroid hormone levels
- complete blood count
- blood electrolytes.
If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your symptoms.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Feel free to ask me again whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
