Brief Answer:
An immediate medical check up is necessary!

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern I recommend you to consult immediately an ER doctor for a comprehensive physical examination coupled with a resting ECG, and some blood tests (including cardiac enzymes) to rule out a possible cardiac angina, as well as define an exact cause for your complains. Eventually a chest X ray study and cardiac ultrasound will be necessary for a differential diagnosis process.
Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings!
Dr. Iliri
