Hi Kim.
Nice to hear about your concern.Asymmetric septal hypertrophy per se is not a problem but it certainly becomes one if it obstructs the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. And it is always wise to consult your nearest cardiologist at the earliest.The treatment are many and range from medicines to surgery and devices but the cardiologist who can see the patient frequently will be the best judge
