Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about cardiac disease as cause of your breathlessness.
As your ECG and 2D ECHO are normal.
LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) 81% is really very good and rule out all type of heart disease as cause for your breathlessness.
Slight left axis deviation is normal so no need to worry much.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test ) and chest x ray to rule out pulmonary causes for breathlessness.
I find this answer helpful
