Recently diagnosed with AHCM. Have appt. at Mayo Sept. Have lightheadedness off and on. Is this dangerous before my appt. in Sept. Am 78 and thought I was in excellent health. This was a total shock. Walk about 3 miles a day and do anything I want to do. Was having palpitations and wanted it checked out. After ekg, holter, echo and mri, was diagnosed with AHCM. Was lucky enough to be able to head to Mayo, but the waiting is difficult.

Welcome, @emo44. I'm excited for you that you have an appointment for apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in September.
I moved your question about feeling lightheaded off and on and your concern about this being dangerous to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read what others have posted and connect with members like @Sensation @onewholovesrock @mistymopps3 @sheim @rrowner2 @angiev18 @archer and more.

If this symptom of lightheadedness is new and concerns you, you may wish to contact Mayo Clinic through the patient portal. Have you created an account on the portal called Patient Online Services?
