Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be caused by anxiety.
Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a routine check up:
- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes.
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
