Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that many disorder could cause this clinical scenario.
I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and some blood lab tests :
-
complete blood count for chronic anemia
- kidney and liver function tests
- blood electrolytes ( including calcium and magnesium)
- thyroid hormone levels and cortisol plasma levels ( to exclude possible thyroid and adrenal gland dysfunction)
-fasting glucose and
glucose tolerance test ( diabetes could cause
chronic fatigue and thirst)
- a cardiac
ultrasound to examine your cardiac function.
-inflammation tests (fibrinogen, PCR, sedimentation), because an autoimmune disorder could mimic such a clinical scenario.
-blood and urine osmolarity ( this test helps define the cause of your thirst)
I also advise monitoring your blood pressure in both sitting and standing up position. A head up tilt test is necessary to exclude possible
orthostatic hypotension.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
