Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are related to the changes in pressure.
It is normal to feel that way, after these changes.
Anyway, if your symptoms persist, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a brain MRI
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
In the meantime, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask me again whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
