Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms could be related to sleep apnea or low blood oxygenation (related to the respiratory infection).
I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- complete blood count
- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- blood gas analysis
- blood electrolytes
- respiratory function tests.
A polysomnography may be needed to exclude possible sleep apnea.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
