Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms may be related to a autonomic neuropathy.

Have you measured your blood pressure lately? A low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension could explain this clinical scenario.

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray and some blood lab tests :

- complete blood count ( for chronic anemia or a chronic infection).
- HbA1C (to identify the mean blood glucose values of the last 3 months)
- fasting glucose
- kidney and liver function tests
- thyroid hormone levels ( a thyroid dysfunction could also mimic these symptoms)
- cortisol plasma levels (to examine the adrenal gland function)
- blood electrolytes
- inflammation tests (PCR, sedimentation rate).

A head up tilt test may be necessary to confirm a possible orthostatic hypotension if suspicions are raised during the physical exam.

Meanwhile I would advise you to take plenty of water and juices and a balanced diabetic diet.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best regards,

Dr. Iliri
