Hi well come to HCM.
What ever querry put to you were absolutely needed to find out any stress in your
life and stress has bigger role in coronary heart disease and anxiety related disorders.
Past hospitaliztion was asked to know about any major disease in past of which you
are cured of, at times present complains are in relation to your past ailment, and many
other conditions there can be relapse as well. Staying alone was ask to know your
social circulmstances like going well with children or feeling lonely etc. This all questions
are necessary to know for any good doctor. Thanks
