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?

I recently found my diagnosis in my medical file where it was diagnosed three years ago via a cat scan but no one told me! Brought it up to my cardiologist at my yearly appointment last Thursday November 2nd and she ordered a Echo saying there’s not a current one. I have that done in A week and see her again December 2nd! Iam currently diagnosed with sic sinus node syndrome where my pulse go fast then slow I have A pacemaker and am on beta blockers and other blood pressure meds. My current symptoms are lack of energy, short of breath, dizziness, and get very faint and nauseous when I sand! Requested a appointment with mayos. Have experience with them as a child. Also my mother had HCM.
