Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I don't think that your symptoms are related to any cardiac disorders. Your cardiac performed tests have a shown an normal heart function and structure and have excluded any possible coronary
artery disease.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for other possible causes of this symptomatology:
- a chest
X ray study and respiratory function tests to exclude a possible lung disorder
- an
arterial blood gas analysis
- inflammation tests (PCR, sedimentation rate) for possible inflammation
- a cervico-thoracic spine X ray study for possible chronic degenerations of the spine, which could cause similar symptoms.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Another advice I would give is to try taking an antiacid or a PPI (
omeprazole,
lansoprazole). If your symptoms are relieved by these drugs it may indicate possible gastro-esophageal reflux. A fibrogastroscopy may be needed in such case.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
