Hello
thanks for posting at HCM.
I have gone through your description. I really appreciate full information given from your side.
All the medications you are taking are just perfect and I suggest you to continue taking them. With regard to the palpitations, since your heart rate remains normal during the episode, I dont think there is any need to worry about them.
These may be related to anxiety. I see that you are taking anti anxiety pills in morning and evening. So please do not worry about your palpitations and continue same medications.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
