Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test (trade mill test)
4. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG) to rule out cardiac causes.
There are following possibilities in your case.
1. Arrhythmia
2. Heart failure
3. Coronary artery disease.
So above investigations are needed to rule out cardiac cause.
If all cardiac investigations are normal, then no need to worry much for cardiac causes.
Anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
