People are interested in how you manage your disease, please do share with us how you were diagnosed, any treatments that have helped (or not helped), where your doctor is located etc. Here are two links that discuss the two good pieces of advice you have for all of us. https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/healthy-heart/lifestyle-steps-when-managing-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy/ and https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-exercising-with-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy/ Many of us would find it helpful to learn which non-medical tips that have helped you to live your best life. We are all so different and need to find the particular ones that help us lead our best lives.
