Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since your stress test and echo are normal, no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Other likely causes for your symptoms are
1. Anemia
2. Thyroid related problems
3. Vitamin b12 deficiency.
So better to get done hemoglobin level, thyroid function test and vitamin b12 level.
And if any of the above is deficient then start supplements accordingly.
