Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder (anemia, electrolyte imbalance, etc.).

I don't think that you have damaged your heart.

But, it is important to examine your heart too in this clinical situation.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- fasting glucose for possible low glucose levels (hypoglycemia).

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
