Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you are having palpitations and shortness of breath, we need to rule out cardiac cause first.
Common cardiac cause s are
1. Arrhythmia
2. Hypotension
3. Heart failure.
So get done
1. ECG
2. 2D Echo.
3. Holter monitoring (continuous recording of ECG ) to rule out all these.
If all are normal than no need to worry much.
This may be due to anxiety only. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
