Hi welcome to HCM.
Stress related impaired function of the heart would cause CAD-coronary artery disease which leads to impaired blood flow to heart muscle due to ischemia.I advise you to have a baseline ecg and a 2 dimensional echo to rule out any regional wall motion abnormalities secondary to CAD.Restrict the intake of coffee and alcohol.Keep your blood pressure under 130/80 mm of Hg.Drugs like inotropic agents will help the heart to pump effectively and efficiently.Consult your cardiologist for further care.
Thank you.
