Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that , I dont think allopurinol will worsen it .
Secondly NCV testing should be done to look for type of neuropathy , without that we cannot reach a decision as to what can be the cause behind it. And finding the cause is the first step to treat neuropathy. You are right, the correction of cause can treat symptoms of neuropathy . You please send your test reports to me then I will be able to guide you better .
Take care.
