Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I am sure that your friend is anxious and apprehensive about his health condition. he is worried that he may be diagnosed a heart patient which he cannot accept. Convincing by a normal person is unacceptable. A psychological counselor / psychologist should come as a good help. He need no convincing, but awareness and understand the requirement.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
