Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that first patient who have RA have early atherosclerosis leading to coronary artery disease so ECG, ECHO would be mandatory to see that . Also what is the status of your menstrual cycle sometimes hot flushes can be related to that . Regarding pain in joints please tell what medicines you are taking for that , only after that we will be able to guide you further .Any other query please ask and attach your recent reports if any .

Take care.
