@terryviazanko, will you tell us a bit more about you and HCM?

Hi Terry Welcome. I have HCM too, but mine is Non Obstructive. Mine has gotten worse at times too. It's never easy to deal with. I know how you feel. 🙁
Hope you feel better soon!

I hope surgery works for you, since mine is non obstructive I don't think I have that option, besides I don't really wanna have surgery anyways, to risky I think. But with yours, since you have HCOM it's probably better than the alternative. Hope everything goes well.
