After 30+ years of mysterious symptoms, I was diagnosed with HCM in February -- at age 56. The cardiologist who diagnosed me does not appear to be an HCM expert, although I'm deeply grateful to him for his diagnosis after so many doctors couldn't. Here's what he told me: You have HCM; your mitral valve is hitting your septum; don't get dehydrated; stop taking Inderal and start taking Atenolol; come back and see me in six months.
Here's my question: My second appointment is coming up in a few weeks and I need to know what to ask him. I would think "Am I obstructed?" "What's my gradient?" and "do I need a stress test?" But what else should I ask?
