Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, I think you are having Gynecomastia. It is enlargement of male breast due to fat deposition.
There are many causes for gynecomastia. But the common causes are
1. Hormonal imbalance
2. Genetic disorders like klien felters syndrome
3. Drug induced like spironolactone,bromocriptine etc
4. Familial
So better to consult endocrinologist and get done hormone study. Discuss about these possible causes and start treatment accordingly.
