Hello Joyce!

Thank you for your question on HCM! I appreciate your concern.

There are many causes of feet and hands swelling. I would mention:
- Renal disease
- Liver disease
-Cardiac disorders
- Rheumatologic disorders
- Electrolytes imbalance

I don't think that headaches are related to any neurological disorder, but to the primary cause of the limb swelling.

I would recommend to perform some tests to establish the cause:
-a routine blood test
-kidney and liver function tests
-inflammatory tests: PCR, fibrinogen, sedimentation
-Rheumatologic testing: ANA, ANCA, ENA
-Electrolytes.
-chest xray
-abdominal ultrasound.
I would also advise you to closely monitor your blood pressure.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
