Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your symptoms are more suggestive of anxiety.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause .
If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Anxiety appears more in your case.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
