Hi welcome to HCM.
Breathlessness after a mild to moderate activity can suggest reduced blood supply to heart indicating cardiac ischemia.I advice you to have a baseline EKG and review angiography to rule out any new blocks or insitu stent thrombus.Drugs like prasugrel and clopilet can prevent such blocks.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
