Hello!
Thank you for the question on HCM!
I appreciate your concern!
In my opinion the symptoms you have may be caused by a sinus problem ( a chronic sinusitis). An intracranial tumor can also cause similar symptoms.
When you breathe, your intracranial pressure increases. So the fact that your headache is worse during breathing may be a sign of a raised intracranial pressure.
I would recommend you to consult with your GP, have a careful physical examination, a blood analysis for inflammation. A brain CT scan may be necessary to exclude the above mentioned possible causes.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
Dr. Aida
