Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.

I would not recommend taking hydrocolodone for a long time, because it can lead to addiction and tolerance, thus exacerbating anxiety.

Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- a chest X Ray study
- complete blood count
- PCR, ESR for inflammation

Are your symptoms triggered by deep inspiration or body movements? This would be indicative of a musculo-skeletal pain. In such case ibuprofen would help improve your situation.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
