Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I passed carefully through your concern and would like to explain that your clinical symptomatology seems to be related to some degree of adverse autonomic reaction,; orthostatic intolerance.
At those moments of ears ringing, weakness and passing out feeling it is important to check your blood pressure values and heart rate.
In addition, I recommend you consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some medical tests like the following:
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes level
- resting ECG
- ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring
- cardiac ultrasound
- Tilt testing
- fasting blood glucose level
You need to discuss with your doctor on the above mentioned issues.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Feel free to ask me again whenever you need!
Kind regards,
