Thank you Colleen foe invitation. Hello everyone! Glad that was fortunate to find this group.
Hope to educate myself with your help and contribute with my story.
I am 52 male, who was diagnosed with HOCM 1 years ago. Frankly playing back my last 10 years can tell that gradually was loosing energy and developing HCM related symptoms like SOB, chest pain dizziness. At the beginning of this period I was able walking for 2 hours at 4.2mph (maybe longer), now 20 minutes of uninterrupted walk for relax and breath taking for 20 minutes at 3.3mph is considered as not bad. After Dx tried different Beta- and Calcium channel blockers. Very refractive to both, especially to the latter one. Now taking small dose metropolol (12.5mg). Looking for possibility of symptoms alleviation at Myo, since learn many good things about the Clinic's Drs and Surgeons at Lisa Salberg's HCMA site and Cynthia's blogs.
