Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to anxiety or sleep apnea.

I would also recommend performing some other tests:

- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction.

ACPAP device will help improve your situation if you have been already diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,
