If you have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy could you explain any changes you had to make in your diet or lifestyle? Does anything you do or eat make hypertrophic cardiomyopathy worse/better?

Hi @lopezland, You've been diagnosed with HCM. Seeking all that you can about how to take care of yourself is important.
You will see that I moved your post to a discussion you have previously commented in. I did this so that you can connect with and get the opinion from other people who have your same condition.
@lopezland, have you tried any adjustments to your diet yet? Can you share what you have tried?

I find that I can't eat heavy meals. By heavy I don't necessarily mean high fat or high carb; it's the amount of food consumed at one time that worsens symptoms such as short breath, palpitations, light headedness, etc. Besides eating healthier, I now eat more frequent, smaller meals / snacks throughout the day.
