Hello.
Thanks for posting at HCM.
I would be able to help you better had you also mentioned why warfarin and ecosprin have been started in the first place. My guesses are either a heart valve replacement, atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rate) or pulmonary embolism. Since you are regular on your symbicort and have no wheeze I guess asthma side is controlled.
Your symptoms seem to be due to heart issues in view of changes in ECG and previous probable history of heart disease. I recommend you to do a 2d echo to see the pumping function of the heart, any fluid overload , any leak between the valves the functioning of the heart.
It will help us definitely in a evaluating the cause of the your symptoms. Further action can be decided on site of 2 d echo.
please revert with 2 d echo findings.
Wishing you good health
Regards
