Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
Revelon XL 25 is metoprolol which is beta blocker. It will help you in this situation.
Since your coronary angiography is normal, I don't think any cardiac disease is the cause for your current symptoms. So Beta blocker will not help you.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis.
As your symptoms like breathlessness on exertion is seen in Bronchitis.
So better to rule out this.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and short coarse of antibiotics.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Don't take revelon xp 25. It will not help you.
