HI welcome to HCM.
The above list of symptoms you mentioned can be due to the side effects of few antihypertensive drugs like central sympatholytics like clonidine or methyl dopa.A base line ecg and a 24hr Holter EKG can help to determine the exact nature of heart rhythm abnormalities.Drugs like Beta blockers and Ace inhibitors can be relatively safer alternatives.Monitor the blood pressure on a regular note.A 2 dimensional ECHO of heart can provide added information on cardiac output.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
THANK YOU
