Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different causes:
- a cervico-thoracic column disorder, leading to nerve and radicular compression.
- electrolytes imbalances (calcium, potassium,
magnesium)
- anxiety could also mimic all this clinical situation
- multiple sclerosis
I would recommend consulting with a
neurologist for a careful physical examination. Depending on the physical exam further tests may be needed:
-a brain MRI study in case of suspicions of central neurvous system disorders.
- a
nerve conduction study in case of suspicion of
peripheral nerve disease, including nerve compression and neuropathy.
- some blood lab tests (
complete blood count, fasting glucose, PCR, sedimentation rate, thyroid hormone levels) would also help exclude other causes.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
