Symptoms of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
A majority of people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have no symptoms, or very mild symptoms, and lead normal, active lives. Often, you can live for many years with HCM, with no change in your condition. However, some people with HCM can experience a variety of concerning symptoms, especially during or just after exercise or exertion, including:
- Chest pain
- Heart murmur, typically heard by your doctor during an exam
- Heart palpitations, which may be due to an abnormal heart rhythm
- Lightheadedness and/or fainting
- Shortness of breath
