Hello! Thank you for your question on HCM! Regarding your concern I think that it may be just a panic attack and you should not worry about it . I would recommend a 24hour ECG monitoring for your cardiac problem to analyse its severity, because it can cause bradycardia or a presyncope situation leading to similar symptoms. If the long qt syndrome is a low risk form and not related to this episodes I would recommend just alprazolam during these episodes. Psychotherapy may be helpful. If the episodes are related to the long qt syndrome and it is a severe form , you should consult with your cardiologist and have a proper treatment. Hope to have been of help! Greetings! Dr. Abaz Quka
