I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Your husband's complaint seems to be nonspecific for guiding to a more precise diagnostic direction.
Could you provide more information on the exact nature of his complaints; the exact conditions when this started, any associated symptoms (shortness of breath, any heart beating abnormality, pain, etc)?
Does he suffer from any chronic health condition?
In any case, I recommend checking his blood pressure values, heart rate and boy temperature.
If any abnormality is detected, especially if the clinical symptomatorlogy doesn't change, then it is advisable to ask medical assistance to the nearest ER service.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
