Hello @drumsace, and welcome to Mayo Connect. HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) is a weird condition, isn't it? A lot of us have the same symptoms, and others have something different than us. The eating thing is real in my opinion. I noticed it too, but I did not lose weight. Dang it! I found I could not exercise like I did before the symptoms so the scale kept creeping up. How long have you known you had HCM? What other symptoms do you have?
