Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, your urine, blood, scan reports, could've been sent.
Now you should have your B.P. checked, and urine for micro albumin tested.
Hope your blood creatinine has been done, with sugar,sodium,potassium and proteins.If microalbumin is high, 24hours urine proteins, must also be tested.
If ECG is normal, cardiac cause can be ruled out.
You can get my expert opinion, by sending the reports,as a direct question.
