HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you said you have swelling over your legs, this needs to be differentiate from the edema or swelling in wither condition the underlying cause is matter, and for that clinical examination is required if the cardiac condition is there then this should be edema, at the most you can minimize this by keeping the leg in elevated position, hope this information helps you take care and have nice day
