Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

At this point, the only thing to be done immediately is to run to the nearest ER service, and perform a medical check up. A resting ECG is necessary to rule in/out a possible cardiac arrhythmia (most probably an atrial fibrillation).

If atrial arrhythmia is confirmed, then a prompt therapeutic intervention by using drugs should be made in attempting to convert into normal sinus rhythm. It is important to not lose unnecessary time, as the faster the therapeutic intervention, the better the outcomes.

Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr.Iliri
