Hi, I'm Tonia. I was originally told that I had left ventricle hypertrophy caused by HBP, but was recently told that I have HCM. I'm sick over it.

Welcome @toniaandjoel1. Getting a new diagnosis of HCM is tough. But it is also the beginning of understanding what is going on and how you can live well. There are many members here who can answer any questions you might have. I'm sure you have a lot. What concerns you most today?

Hi, I am Sarah. I was diagnosed with Broken Heart Syndrome/Stress cardiomyopathy. That was last March. I was in the hospital for 5 days before they figured it out. At the same time, I experienced high BP. Like, 222/153, and have been to the ER many times. I thought high blood pressure was fairly easy to control. I also have A-Fib. Does anyone have the same diagnosis?
