Eating full meals is a challenge with HOCM. I tend to graze throughout the day, ensure I eat lots of veggies and drink lots of water. My “big” meal of the day is an early dinner with small portions, especially when I have meat. I rarely drink alcohol anymore. I get full very fast.
If I overdo it I will have heart palpitations and a fast heartbeat all night long and feel like my heart wants to jump out of my throat. I have obstructive HCM of a moderate kind managed by medication (metoprolol and disopyramide). What helps most is grazing to avoid eating too much at once and drinking lots of water. Hope that helps.

I have the same experience! I am curious if you got off disopyramide to take Camzyos? Also, what dosage of Metoprolol are you taking? How long have you HOCM?

Same here. Cannot overeat or will have fatigue and rapid heart rate/arrhythmias. Had the best margarita of my life last month in San Antonio, along with a moderate meal, and thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. Wouldn't stop palpitating. The 93 degree heat didn't help either. Had to return to hotel room to rest where it was cool, and it subsided. I, too, am on metoprolol.
