Hello there @cpro10, Celeste, I'm glad you are here and welcome to the HCM group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
That's great that you are connected to a Center of Excellence for you HOCM. What a blessing!
Are you able to be active and exercise with your HOCM?

@karukgirl, hi Debra, thanks for the welcome. I am quite active and have few limitations. Walking, yoga, light weight resistance exercises are a go. The main tell of my HOCM is how quickly I nod off while reading, listening to podcasts, or other more sedate activities. Before my diagnosis I was wondering if I was narcoleptic.
Making sure I’m alert and refreshed before a long drive is a must. Long winded/monotone friends know not to be offended if I nod off while on the phone.
I’m very pleased with the care and treatment I’m receiving from the team at Mayo. Truly blessed
