General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to anxiety or problems like anaemia or hypothyrodism. A blood routine examination should be done to rule out anaemia. Thyroid profile test should be done to rule out hypothyroidism ECG should be done to rule out heart problems also to be on safe side. In case of anaemia taking Iron and B12 supplements and in case of hypothyroidism taking thyroxine supplements will be helpful to clear your problem. For anxiety you can do breathing exercises for relaxation. Sit relaxed and take deep breaths. You can do this a couple of times daily. If that is not helping then a short course of anxiolytics or betablocker will be helpful.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
