Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having anxiety and related breathing trouble.
But better to get done chest x ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out pulmonary causes for breathlessness.
If both are normal then, anxiety is the cause.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
