Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your son may have valvular heart disease.
As syncope with right bundle branch block in young patient is mostly due to valvular heart disease.
So consult cardiologist and get done
1. 2D Echo
2. Holter monitoring ( continuous recording of ECG ).
According to the reports of above investigation s, treatment should be started. He may require cardiac drugs and surgery if valvular defect is found.
