Thanls for your question on HCM. In my opinion since your cardiac work up is normal, we need to rule out pulmonary causes for your breathlessness. So consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Chest x ray 2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) If both of these are normal , I advice you to get done CBC and S.TSH to rule out anemia and thyroid problems. As anemia and thyroid problems can also gives breathlessness. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
