Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
EKG is a test that refers mostly to the changes in heart electrical system, caused by the heart muscle. My recommendation is that right now you should proceed to do an echocardiogram to assess the heart muscle and the valvular apparatus function, also. Although, this is a harg age when she can be subject to a lot of stressful events during a day. The episode of falling to the floor, wıthout losing consciousness I assume, is probably a sudden drop of blood pressure due to brisk switching positions, usually from lying or sitting down to standing up position. However, I suggest you to proceed to echocardiogram, in order to clarify the very little amount of suspicion I have.
I hope I was helpful. Take care.
Kind regards,
Dr. Meriton
