Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank your for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that it is important performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis between different causes that may lead to this physical scenario:
- an infection
- myocardial ischemia
Have you measured your body temperature?
I recommend going to the ER for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes (Troponin and CKMB)
- a chest X ray study
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
