Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I passed carefully through your concern and would explain that your recent symptomatology may be explained by related to post-prandial hypotension or other possible causes (low fasting glucose, cardiac arrhythmia, etc.).
For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- fasting glucose
- glucose tolerance test
- complete blood count for anemia
- a Head Up Tilt test for orthostatic hypotension.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
