Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would like to explain that you that your symptoms could be related to possible heart failure.

You should know that copd in its later stages leads to heart failure.

I recommend you to consult with the cardiologist for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound, a chest x ray study and some blood lab tests:

- complete blood count
- kidney and liver function tests
- blood electrolytes
- blood osmolarity.

A diuretic (like lasix)may be needed.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best regards!

Dr. Iliri
