Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a metabolic disorder.
A comprehensive differential diagnosis between different disorders like chronic anemia, thyroid gland dysfunction, adrenal gland dysfunction or a
vitamin deficiency should be done.
Depression could also mimic this clinical scenario.
I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination and perform a resting ECG, a chest x ray, an abdominal
ultrasound and some blood lab tests:
-
complete blood count ( for chronic anemia)
- inflammation tests ( fibrinogen, PCR, sedimentation rate)
- thyroid hormone levels
-
cortisol plasma levels
- blood lipid profile
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests, etc.
You should consult with your GP on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
