Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms.
So better to get done ecg first.
If ecg is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause pins and needle sensation in the body.
So get done serum vitamin B 12 level and it it is deficient then start supplement.
So better to consult your doctor and discuss all these possible causes and start appropriate treatment.
