Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
Given the chronic nature of his symptoms, i will advise you see a Pneumologist for examination. His Doctor should also evaluate him for heart problems.Tests that may help include: chest x ray and ECG.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
Dr Mbuomboh
