Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety.

Nevertheless, bleeding nose is a concerning symptom.

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

- resting ECG
- chest X ray study
- blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, coagulation tests, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests).
- an abdominal ultrasound to examine your ovaries for possible cysts

If all the above tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about: just a little anxiety.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
