After I got HCM I was not able to lie flat. For a long time I have used a wedge pillow which raises your upper body in bed with out compromising the spine. And I lifted the head of my bed a few inches so the bed is not flat. Even after my surgery, I still cannot lay flat and have to be raised up in bed on the wedge pillow. My symptoms were much the same as yours. I don't want to comment too much on the meds, although the Verapimil was very helpful. My meds were changed around many times to find the right combination that would help especially since my blood pressure was all over the place. After surgery, it is now totally different. Although it is still hard to find the right combinations that do not make me over medicated. Your doctor will work with you to find the right mix since we are all very different.
Best to you.
