HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the conclusion this is nothing to worry, it is all depend upon the person who is reading this tracing, according to him it may be positive but the actually it may not be the case, still I would advise for resting EKG test periodically, regular exercise is also important, again it may not be matter of worry, take care have nice day.
