Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a postural intolerance.
I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and performing a Head Up Tilt test to exclude this possibility.
Further tests are needed to exclude other metabolic causes that may trigger this symptomatology:
- a complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for electrolytes imbalances
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
