Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
Regarding your concern I think that it may be just a panic attack and you should not worry about it .
I would recommend a 24hour ECG monitoring for your cardiac problem to analyse its severity, because it can cause bradycardia or a presyncope situation leading to similar symptoms.
If the long qt syndrome is a low risk form and not related to this episodes I would recommend just alprazolam during these episodes. Psychotherapy may be helpful.
If the episodes are related to the long qt syndrome and it is a severe form , you should consult with your cardiologist and have a proper treatment.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
