Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a cardiac arrhythmia or anxiety.

The noise bleeding does not seem to be related to the palpitations.

Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for a cardiac arrhythmia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- complete blood count
- coagulation tests
- blood electrolytes.

If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your symptoms.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
