Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I read your question carefully and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to
anxiety. Your family history for atrial fibrilation doesn't seem to be related to your symptomatology.
Has anybody besides you noticed the skin discoloration of your limbs?
You are too young for such cardiac disorders.
Anyway, a metabolic disorder (like
thyroid dysfunction, etc.) can not be excluded.
I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and a complete check up :
- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study
- blood lab tests :
complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests,
cortisol plasma levels, etc.
A treadmill test and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be necessary if suspicions of a
cardiac arrhythmia are raised.
If all the above tests result normal, the main cause of your symptoms would be just pure anxiety.
In such case, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of this field to help you manage your anxiety.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards!
Dr. Iliri
