Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done 2D Echo first. This will tell you about heart function.
In hypertensive patients over a period of time heart function tends to deteriorate. And this causes poor circulation of blood and body fluids.
This causes edema in face and legs.
So go for 2D Echo.
About black spot on ECG, one needs ECG strip for examination. So send me your ECG strip for further suggestions.
