Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain you that first you should clarify that issue regarding possible cardiac angina. You need to perform a cardiac stress test. If nothing results from the test, and if you don't have coronary risk factor, then you should look for another explanation of your experienced pains. Otherwise, if stress test results positiv for cardiac ischemia, then you need a further diagnostic work up including coronary angiography to confirm coronary artery disease and establish the most appropriate therapy.

Greetings! Dr. Iliri
