Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms are related to Noethistersone withdrawal symptoms.
An electrolyte imbalance could also mimic this clinical scenario.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a resting ECG, a complete blood count and blood electrolytes. If these tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about. Your situation will improve spontaneously in the next weeks.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
