Hi Welcome to HCM,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of uncontrolled hypertension secondary to stress and anxiety.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo,lipid profile to confirm the diagnosis.Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly.Drugs like betablockers or amlodepine will be helpful.Avoid stress and anxiety.Exercise regularly.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
