Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia or low blood pressure values.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:

- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Meanwhile, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure through the day and refer them to your doctor.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
