Brief Answer:
Provide more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understand the concern.
Occasional spasm for few seconds could be related to your anxiety or vasovagal or might some ectopic beats occasionally but very unlikely to be related to heart.
Will you please describe this spasm in more detailes like how you feel during spasm or where exactly,over chest or somewhere else?
Since your blood pressure is normal with normal EKG as your doctor did,I do not think there is anything to be concerned much.
Kindly get back to me with more information, I will be happy to help as far as I can.
Awaiting your response.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip kabra
