Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
You are at higher risk for cardiac cause. The reasons are
1. High cholesterol. More chances of coronary artery diseases.
2. Family history of DM type 2 in both mother and father. So chances of diabetes in you are high. And diabetes is a great risk factor for heart disease.
3. Family history of hypertension in mother. Hypertension can cause cardiac muscle damage and thus cause cardiac disease.
So I advice you to get done ECG, 2D ECHO, cholesterol levels and sugar levels.
