Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for your question on HCM!

Regarding your concern, your symptoms don't seem to be related to the heart.

The most probable cause would be a cervical disc displacement, which is causing a radicular pain, or a pinched nerve.

Another disorder which could cause this symptomatology would be a possible stroke or TIA.

I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination and perform a routine check up ( resting ECG, chest x ray, routine blood test, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels).

A cervical spine x ray and a brain CT scan may be necessary to exclude the above mentioned causes.

Hope to have been of help!

Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
