Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension.

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:

- a Head UP Tilt test for orthostatic intolerance
- complete blood count for anemia
- fasting glucose and HbA1C for diabetes
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- cortisol plasma levels for possible adrenal gland dysfunction.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
