Hi ty for sharing! May i ask your thickness? I am 17 mm and my dr says he doesnt do surgeries till atleast 30 mm thickness. I know every situation is different I was just curious. Also I am getting along fine now, I am taking 37.5 mg metoprolol and diltiazem everything is going very well and I'm grateful PS I was diagnosed 5 months ago 58 years old. Prior to medication i had lite s.o.b. and occasional dizziness and resistance to excersize due to gradient. Now i have.zero symptoms

My thickness is at 19 mm and my LVOT gradient is at 122. I was at 52 in 2021 - its increased that quickly. Im on 50 mg metoprolol 3 times a day. Im 63 now, diagnosed at 58 too. Had issues for years but no one could pinpoint. Got dizzy spell at work at they took me in thinking it was heart attack. Im glad you are doing better and zero symptoms! ❤️
