Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The pill should start acting within two hours of your taking it. Forget about the side effects. The medicine was prescribed to you because you needed it. If you stat asking the credentials of the doctor, you should have done it before going to the doctor. Don t worry. You should be alright within a week or so. Consume the medicine as is prescribed by your doctor. He knows you better. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
