Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM! I understand your concern.
I agree with your GP in the fact that there is really nothing you should worry about.
These are normal physiological variations of bone structures. I would say that nobody is perfectly symmetric. Some it is normal to have some bigger bones, some asymmetric bumps etc.
If you have any other symptoms like aggravating headache or nausea I would recommend a brain CT scan to rule out any meningeoma( tumors of the brain surface layers), which can cause modifications of the head bones.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
