Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, you should know that your symptoms could be related to epilepsy seizures or low blood pressure.
I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequently during the day. Some tests are needed to investigate for the possible causes:
- an EEG
- complete blood count for anemia
- a resting ECG
- blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance.
You should discuss with your GP on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
