Hello
thanks for posting at HCM.
Basically you have symptoms of palpitations and fast heart rate when you exert. This may be related to cardiac cause also. When the heart arteries are narrowed, when you ever the heart nets faster to cope up with the demand. Please do a stress test which requires you to walk on a treadmill while your heart rate and ECG is continuously being monitored. This will show whether the heart really gets fast more than normal range during exertion.
Next I would also like to see a thyroid profile on you. thyroid abnormalities can also cause fast heart rate and palpitations.
Please do the above tests and revert back. Daily exercises like walking, cycling, jogging, swimming can also increase the stamina and can help in keeping heart rate under control.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
