Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. As you had been to different doctors, I shall address the problem psychologically.

You are through a lot of mental and physical agoney. That is stress and mental trauma. The stress arising out of trauma is called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Lethargy, disorientation, anxiety, apprehension etc are prominent symptoms of PTSD. This angle of diagnosis is possible and this could be in addition to the existing diagnosis.

Please visit a clinical psychologist to confirm the PTSD diagnosis and learn to be active.

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 some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

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