Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would explain that her symptoms may be related to a metabolic disorder like
hyperthyroidism, which is a dysfunction of the thyroid gland.
High triglycerides can also be related with pacreatitis, and a
hormonal imbalance (like ovarian cysts). So a comprehensive differential diagnosis should be done to establish the possible cause of her symptomatology.
I would recommend consulting with her GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray, and abdominal
ultrasound and some blood lab tests:
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes
- amylazemia
- fasting glucose
-
cortisol plasma levels
- kidney and liver function tests , etc.
An ambulatory 24-48 hour ECG monitoring is needed if suspicions of a possible
cardiac arrhythmia are raised.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
