Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I could say that these symptoms may be related to a cardiac arrhythmia.

Do you feel other symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, etc.?

I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes).

If all the above mentioned tests result normal, you should take into consideration anxiety as a possible cause of this symptomatology.

Hope to have been of help!

Best regards!
