Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo to rule out worsening MS (Mitral Stenosis).
As if progressive MS when reaches atethe stage of critical narrowing, the left atrial pressure will increase.
This in turn causes back pressure in pulmonary veins.
So pulmonary edema develops. Which causes breathlessness.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo to rule out this.
It is better to get done surgical repair of valvular repair.
So discuss all these with your doctor and start treatment.
