Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

The episode you describe seems to be related to a transient ischemic attack or to an epileptic seizure.

What were her blood pressure values?

I recommend bringing her to the ER for a careful physical examination, and some tests :

- a resting ECG, to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia
- blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes).
- an EEG and a brain CT scan or MRI if possible to exclude the above possibilities.

You should discuss with her doctor on the above issues.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
