Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Most of these episodes can be due to anxiety and resolve spontaneously. But in case the episodes recur, then I would recommend you to go for an ECG and chest X Ray to rule out arrhythmias or pulmonary disease. You may upload the reports for my reference so that I may help you in the best possible way.
Hopefully this will help you.
Take care
