Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that his symptoms seem to be related to a cardiac arrhythmia.

Anxiety could also be related to this clinical scenario.

I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and performing some tests:

- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study
- lab blood tests (complete blood count, cardiac enzymes, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests)

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would be necessary to examine his heart rhythm trends during the day.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
