Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we need to rule out
1. Cardiac cause
2. Respiratory causes
first for your symptoms.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
Get done chest x ray and PFT ( PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST ) to rule out pulmonary causes.
If everything is normal than no need to worry much.
Your symptoms may be due to anxiety.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
