Hello!

Thank you for your question on HCM!

Regarding your concern your symptoms seem like partial epileptic seizures. Anxiety could also mimic this clinical scenario.

I recommend you to perform some tests like : routine blood test, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes and an EEG for epilepsy.

If the EEG is abnormal, a brain CT scan would be necessary to exclude any possible brain lesion. You should consult with the neurologist for these examinations.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
