General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read the problem you have described and understand your concern.
What your husband is facing symptoms of fast heart rate and shortness of breath after intercourse could be due to physical exertion. He needs to relax adequately and consume good amount of fluids and electrolytes to overcome them.
It would be also advisable to get his blood pressure checked by consulting a Physician, so that it would be more clear to rule out cardiac cause, as it could be due to hypertension.
In case there is no organic issue detected, he needs to take healthy diet along with multi-vitamin and multi-mineral medications to gain good physical stamina.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
