<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Doctor, I have been experiencing muscle swelling and anxiety, along with elbow cramps. What could be the problem?  <response>: Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may have hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, or HOCM. Its a condition where the heart muscle becomes thickened and obstructs blood flow. The elbow cramps you are experiencing could be a result of decreased blood flow to the muscles.
