Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
We, doctors always try to find out organic cause for patient's symptoms.
So in your case we need to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes for your symptoms.
You already consulted various doctors and none of them find cause for your symptoms.
So psychiatric illness is the last possible cause.
This is the reason why they all are sending you to the psychiatrist.
So better to consult psychiatrist and find out solution for your symptoms.
I find this answer helpful
