Cardiologist,  's  Response
Welcome to HCM

The first step is to see a Cardiologist
Irregular heartbeats need to be DOCUMENTED and analysed by ElectroCardioGram (EKG).
Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly or is precipitated by a specific activity like exercise - one needs Holter or event monitor.
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis
Diagnosis needs physician consultation and investigations…
Get examined…
