Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your tests are indicative for inflammation or an inflammatory disorder.
These tests are not indicative of a heart attack or stroke.
Do you have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, vomiting, fever, chest pain, etc?
I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some other tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes if you have chest pain
- a chest X ray study
- some other blood lab tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, PCR)
Further tests may be needed to establish the diagnosis based on your symptoms. Your situation may be related to an infection too.
You should discuss on the above issues with your doctor.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
