Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible cause of your symptoms:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring is necessary to examine your heart rhythm trends during the day.
- a cardiac stress tests is needed to exclude possible coronary artery disease which could lead to chest pain
- a chest X ray study to exclude possible lung disease
- a fibrogastroscopy to exclude possible gastro-esophageal reflux or gastritis, which could also be the cause of chest pain.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
