Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
It appears that the drugs you are on don't seem to be having the desired effect. This happens.
It calls for a change of drugs. I'd advise you to visit your treating doctor and get your drugs changed.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
Wish you good health.
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar
