Hello !
Thank you for your question on HCM! I understand your concern.
In my opinion your symptoms may be caused by anxiety, but there are also some other conditions like a hyperthyroidism, an infectious disease, an autonomic disorder that cause similar symptoms. I would like to know if you have been taking any drug or substance, as withdrawal symptoms from different drugs can cause similar symptoms too.
I would recommend you to consult with your GP, have a good physical examination , measure your blood pressure in sitting and standing up position , your heart rate , a full blood work for inflammation and thyroid function tests .
If the above tests result normal, I would recommend benzodiazepines for some days.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes!
