HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem the medicine which you are taking is highly controversial molecules I do not believe personally in this, if you are taking this drug since long being then there is no authentic data available for this (long term basis side effects of drugs ) so it is better to stop this molecules, have nice day.
