Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a musculo-skeletal pain or inflammation.

Your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

Is this pain triggered by respiration, deep breathing or body movements? This would be indicative of a musculo-skeletal pain.

In such case, I would recommend taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

I would also advise to measure your blood pressure, because high blood pressure can cause heaviness in this area.

Hope to have been helpful!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me again!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
