B, ---You cannot know how helpful your responses have been. Finally, thanks to you, we will be more informed and will have meaningful questions to ask during next appointment. In my case, the head phenomenon is more of a pressure or fullness, specifically around the eyes. This had been with me for many years and always accompanied dizziness, but it was never constant. We thought it was an allergy/sinus complication. Even my physician thought so -- probably because my Ejection Fraction was within normal range.
---By the way, two quick questions: Do you know what your Ejection Fraction was during that highly symptomatic phase? Also, was the progression from HCM to HOCM discovered via an Echocardiogram? This second question is because you noted that the change took place rather quickly, within 2-3 months. My last Echo was about a year ago (July), indicating an Ejection Fraction of 55%. Am wondering if another one is in order -- chiefly, would it explain the persistent symptoms. Meanwhile, the dizziness/unsteadiness has become constant, while the chest discomfort is infrequent -- but sometimes involves the left arm. Obviously, pretty worried. Again, your informed responses have given much relief and some hope.
---Thanks, archer.
