Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your pain and discomforts

As per your history is concerned your difficulty breathing is due to secondary hypertension as you are too young and below age 40 years only.so note down main problems and discuss with your endocrinologist point wise:-
1)check your fasting blood sugar,thyroid function tests
2)check kidney function test
3)check your lipid profiles
4)Do ecg and ECHO
5)check your drug history and alcohol if any
6)Do an ultrasound exam for any adrenal growth
Take medications for blood pressure and restrict salt in diet and treat underlying pathology which is very important for your age.

Wish you a good health

Thanks
