Question : I scream with pain across my chest only when getting out of bed
Brief Answer:
get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms.
Because your age is more than 65 and in this age cardiac cause are common.
So get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo
To rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
May be you are having bad posture in sleep, which causes you musculoskeletal pain.
But cardiac cause should be rule out first.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
