Hmm...well @hopenr, I guess that depends on your latest echo?
I would certainly want him to know that your symptoms have changed quite a bit lately, and if your newest echo reflects any changes.
I think the questions will come after you know your latest test results.
You mention your doctor is well versed in HOCM, have you had a chest x-ray and labs as well as the standard echo? I ask because in my case, it was not until I got to the Mayo Clinic that any doctor had ever ordered a simple chest x-ray or a simple lab.
They were so telling, and completed the HOCM picture completely.
