Hi Deanna529, yes 2022, it's coming up 2 years in July. I was 75 at the time, almost 76. I had led a very active life with no problems: first a jogger, then a walker, bike, paddle, traveling etc. The incident in Feb 2022 was the turning point and the rest is history. My cardiologist has said I had "an unusual kind" of HCM because I had no pain or difficulty breathing, even during stress tests, until 2/2022 even with the progressing obstruction over the years. The day before we began our drive to Rochester MN I did my usual routine at the gym (I focus on strength, balance and flexibility), I do not consider that fun. Genetic testing of 123 known HCM genes in 2022 found no mutations. I feel so bad for everyone who has not found the treatment to alleviate their symptoms because quality of life is so important. I have been back doing everything I have always done.

I am 34 and had the septal myectomy 1 year ago. I started to feel sick about 3 months ago. My thickness is 1.5. My gradient is back up to 50. I get the verdict tomorrow about what can be done for me.🙏
