Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptom seem to be related to anxiety and a panic attack.
Do you have any past medical history for cardiac disorders?
I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and some blood lab tests:
- complete blood count (for chronic anemia)
- thyroid hormone levels (thyroid gland dysfunction)
- cortisol plasma levels (adrenal gland dysfunction)
- blood electrolytes, etc.
If all the above tests result normal, the main cause of this symptomatology would be just pure anxiety.
In such case you should consult with a specialist of the field to help you manage your anxiety.
A lot of physical exercise, Yoga, meditation and avoiding caffeine intake would be helpful.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
