Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem. Your are having tics due to stress and anxiety. Your other symptoms are also due to anxiety more. But better to rule out cardiac cause by ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then anxiety is the cause for all your symptoms abd tics.
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. Be relax and calm.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
I find this answer helpful
