Hi,
A couple of years ago I found this wonderful website when my mom got dx with HOCM. She had a myectomy Aug 2002 at CCF (one of the original CMC). Other than her HUGE phobia of anything medical, she's doing great. She goes to her check ups and gets her testing done with only big anxiety attacks. She's on Lopressor and doing fine.
Why am I back? My 15 y/o daughter just told me she's short of breath, dizzy and chest pain--even at rest but mostly when she's moving around. This has been for a couple of months but lately it's been getting more frequent so she thought she'd tell me. Needless to say, I'm freaked out!
We all had Echo's in 2002 and they were fine. I'll be calling the doc in the am. But until then I needed to brush up on my HCM and just to reach out to those who know what it's like to live in a family with HCM.
Thanks again and again for this site!
