Brief Answer:
do an ECG and a chest X Ray
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM
I can understand your concern
In my opinion riding 30-40 miles for subjects in your age is much and i would not reccommend it ,you should reduce the miles.
Your symptoms are related to the effort you are doing and are signs that shows you are exceeding the capacity of your organism.
However do an ECG and a chest X Ray to exclude lung and heart problems. If they come negative than you probably should do a rest for riding.
Please discuss with your doctor for tthe above.
