Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having anxiety and tension induced symptoms but better to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first.
So please get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
Get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out pulmonaty causes.
If both are normal than get done CBC and S.TSH to rule out anemia and thyroid problems. As anemia and thyroid issues can cause similar symptoms.
If these are also normal thsn chances of anxiety and stress related problems are more.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
