Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion we should rule out cardiac cause first for your symptoms.
Because hypotension can cause breathlessness, giddiness , dizziness and vomiting.
So better to get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Get done chest x ray and PFT ( pulmonary function test ) to rule out pulmonary cause like bronchitis.
So better to consult doctor and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
I find this answer helpful
