Hi @airforce1 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Low blood pressure and sudden heart rate drops can definitely cause the symptoms you are having.
I would like to connect you with @hollywoodal and @lacy2, who's husband had a triple bypass.
Can you tell us a little more about your situation? How long have you had HCM and have you discussed these current symptoms with your doctor?
