Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to a low blood pressure or a metabolic disorder (thyroid dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction, chronic anemia,etc.).

The fact that this occurs only in a certain position or a certain physical activity is indicative that it is not a serious medical condition.

It doesn't seem to be related to any cardiac disorders (based on the symptomatology).

Have you measured your blood pressure during these episodes?

Orthostatic hypotension, could also explain this clinical scenario.

I recommend consulting with a GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and some blood lab tests:

- complete blood count
- kidney and liver function tests
- thyroid hormone levels
- cortisol plasma levels
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes, etc.

A head up tilt tests is needed to rule in/out a possible orthostatic hypotension.

Meanwhile I recommend performing a lot of physical activity (walking, aerobics, sports), to help you maintain a good physical performance and prevent any possible similar episodes.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
