Thank you so much for your comments. Where did you order the CYP test from as the results would be very interesting? My gradient dropped from over 100 to 19 after one month on 5mg of mavacamten. I was decreased to 2.5mg and have sustained my low gradient at 17 after month 2. I have had “known” HCM for over 10 years and had been relatively asymptomatic on metoprolol (with a gradient of 30). However, this year (a few months after I acquired Covid) my gradient and symptoms (SOB and fatigue which is new) increased significantly. Now I wonder if I have long covid instead since my gradient is so low and I’m still symptomatic?? I will stay the course for a few more months and hope more improvement is to come. I agree, we have to be our own advocate and so much more research is needed for HCM.

I ordered the test from Pillcheck. I live in Canada, so if you are in the US, you may have other options. I looked for a company that uses an accredited laboratory. I sent in my sample 18 days ago, and have not received results yet but it looks like it's at the review stage by a pharmacist.

I saw my family doc today and she was so reassuring. She said don't focus on your heart condition. Worrying about it is making you tired! Several doctor friends have told me the same thing (other than my cardiologist, who makes me crazy!).

Hope you just have post-covid symptoms which will improve soon.
