Thanks for your question on HCM. Any left sided chest pain should be evaluated for cardiac cause first.
Even though you were told that heart attack was not there but your present complaints like left sided chest pain, sweating, heaviness and arm pain all favours cardiac cause more. So please consult cardiologist and get done ECG and 2D ECHO to rule out cardiac cause.
If this is normal than get done chest x ray to rule out pulmonary causes like infection.
If this is also normal than it must be stress related. So avoid stress and anxiety.
