Hello !
Thank you for the question on HCM! I understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have may be related to a peripheral neuropathy. It usually starts only in the feet but pain and parestesia accur during rest and movement.
I would recommend you to counsult a neurologist, have a good neurological examination and a full blood work.
A electroneurography would be very helpful for the examination or peripheral nerves.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
