HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be due to withdrawal but it is just happening in case of functional element and no need to be over conscious for this it will be alright in my opinion clinical symptoms are matter of concern and not the test result in absence of any pathology hope this information helps.
