HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, taking calcium injection for heart disease does not create any sense never ever do that, the chances of heart failure is most likely in your case and that need to be treated accordingly, and with proper treatment it will come around very easily and for that first you will have to go for echo study of your heart for that you need to see the good and academic cardiologist, you will get alright soon no need to worry have nice day.
