Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your problem and situation.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain and chest pounding.
So get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo
To rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Get done CBC and thyroid profile to rule out anaemia and thyroid diseases. As both can cause chest pain and chest pounding.
If both are negative than probably you are having anxiety and related symptoms mostly.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
