Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation.
I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:
- a chest X ray study
- PCR, sedimentation rate, complete blood count
- a Doppler ultrasound of the neck arteries and of the arm arteries
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
