Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern,I would explain that a thyroid gland dysfunction can not be excluded, considering your symptoms and performed tests.
For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to examine better your thyroid gland function:
- a thyroid gland ultrasound
- a thyroid gland scintigram
- anti-TPO levels.
You should discuss with an endocrinologist on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
