Hello and thanks for the query in HCM
Before going to the diagnosis I want to know the history in detail: your age, weight, height, any history of hypertension, diabetes or heart disease? Your problem can be related to many systems and for diagnosis a detail and clinical examination is must.
The problem may be due to heart related issue, Rheumatoid Arthritis or other bone related problem. You must consult you doctor and get a detail examination done. In blood investigation you may need Renal function test, S. Uric acid, ESR, CBC, RA factor.
