Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would recommend performing pulmonary function tests to investigate for a possible lung disorder or obstruction, which can coexist with narcolepsy.
A cardiac ultrasound is also necessary to examine your heart function and structure.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
