DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN

BUT YOUR HUSBANDS SYSTOLIC BP IS VERY LOW...

SUCH A LOW SYSTOLIC BP CAN BE SEEN IN DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY OR SOME STENOTIC VALVULAR DISEASE AND THESE CAN CAUSE SHORTNESS OF BREATH

HENCE I ADVISE YOU TO URGENTLY CONSULT A CARDIOLOGIST AND GET HIS CHECK UP DONE

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
