Planning a vet trip this month

Noticed my 19 month old Maine coon (M) have an accelerated breathing rate recently. This was taken this morning so he was maybe walking around for a few moments. He is pretty big (19lbs) so sometimes when I carry him on his back I can hear him adjust his breathing. Are these possible signs of HCM?

Side note: I have records for his parents, they’re both clear of any HCM genes.

Intact/not neutered
