Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should relax and be calm. No need to worry at present.
Upper lobes in chest x ray are hidden by bony structure s like ribs and clavicle. So proper examination is some times difficut due to this.
So radiologist asks for apicolordotic view.
In this x ray is taken in such a way that apeical region is clearly seen and no interference due to bony structures. And you have normal apicolordotic view. So no ned to worry.
Be relax and calm.
