Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM
I do understand your concern
“As” per her clinical history is concerned you should not be worried at all please continue with same medication as before to check her BP & do one ECG if possible, Do a CBC to rule out bacterial infection & anemia and if present then tell your doctor to correct it.
Hope that helps
