Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, your symptoms don't seem to be related to any cardiac disorder. As you refer your cardiac check up has resulted normal too.

Your troubles may be probably caused by a radicular pain (a pinched nerve or a cervical disk displacement).

Anxiety could also cause a similar clinical scenario.

I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination for neurological signs and performing a cervical spine x ray. Nerve conduction studies (electroneurography) may be necessary to exclude a possible pinched nerve.

Hope to have been of help!

Greetings! Dr. Iliri
