Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic intolerance.
I recommend performing a Head Up Tilt test to exclude this possible disorder.
A cardiac ultrasound would also help examine your cardiac function and aorta and exclude possible disorders affecting these organs.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
