Brief Answer:
You need to see a doctor to exclude a possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I recommend going immediately to the ER to perform a careful physical examination and a resting ECG to exclude a possible cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation etc.).

Additional lab tests may be necessary to explore an etiological cause, if arrhythmia is confirmed. .

Hope to have been helpful!

Feel free to ask me whenever you need! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
