Hello Asad!

Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern.

Your symptoms do not seem to be related to loprin intake.

Anxiety could cause this clinical scenario.

I would recommend you to perform some tests like:
a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, ECG, chest x ray. thyroid hormone levels.

These tests are necessary to exclude other causes (infection, musculo-skeletic pain, lung disorders, etc).
A spirometry may be needed to evaluate your respiration pattern.

I would also encourage you to continue with your diet, which seems to be effective in lowering your cholesterol levels.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Iliri
