Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, your husband is having cardiac disease.
His symptoms like chest pressure, numbness in arms, breathlessness in night (orthopnea) etc are favouring cardiac disease.
He is also having ecg abnormality, this is also favouring cardiac disease.
So better to consult cardiologist for him and get done
1. 2d echo
2. Stress test
3. Coronary Angiography if required.
We need to first diagnose the cardiac disease and start appropriate treatment accordingly.
I find this answer helpful
