Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that most of your symptoms (leg weakness,
chest pain while exercising) seem to be related to a thoracic column disorder, that may compress your
spinal cord.
The episodes of
dizziness when standing up may be related to
orthostatic hypotension. A head up tilt test is necessary to rule in/out this possible diagnosis. Chronic
anemia can worsen this condition.
Your
headaches and difficulty in concentrating,may be related to
anxiety and psychological stress. Anyway a complete check up is needed to exclude possible a secondary headache.
The episode of weakness and
fatigue you refer, associated with a big loss of weight, may be related to an infection or a metabolic disorder.
I recommend you consulting with a
neurologist for a careful physical examination for neurological signs, a
nerve conduction study of the lower limbs and some lab tests :
-complete blood count
-PCR, sedimentation rate (inflammation tests)
-kidney and liver function tests
-blood electrolytes, etc.
A thoracic-
lumbar spine CT scan followed by MRI scan are needed to examine better the structures of your column for possible lesions (slipped disks, infection, inflammatory lesions, tumors,etc).
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
