Brief Answer:
You need to consult your cardiologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and sorry for the delay

Your symptoms could be due to arrhythmias like Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, bundle branch block and episodic fasciculations of the fibers of the chest muscle

It can occur due to abnormal electrical conduction and underlying heart condition (considering there's already a pre-existing cardiac history).

I would suggest to consult the cardiologist and undergo -

a repeat 12 lead ECG, 2D Echocardiography, 24-hours Holter Monitoring, Electrophysiological Study
Management will depend on the test results.
So consult the cardiologist to share my opinion.

Hope I have answered your query
If you have further query then I will be happy to help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
