Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that these symptoms could be related to different disorders:

- low blood pressure
- pheochromocytoma
- thyroid dysfunction
- carcinoid syndrome.

For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure and heart rate during the day.

Further tests may be needed:

- a chest X ray study
- an abdominal ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes
- urinary metanephrine levels.

An abdominal MRI study may be needed if an adrenal gland dysfunction or carcinoid syndrome is suspected.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
