Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you are having allergic rhinitis. In this blocked nose is the main symptoms. But I still advice you to get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause for your pressure in chest.
If this is negative than it must be allegic rhinitis. Try to follow these steps.
1. Identify the allergen and if possible try to avoid it.
2. Nasal spray containing fluticasone and azelastine. 2 puffs daily in both nostrils.
3. Oral montelukast and levocetrizine combination once daily at night.
You will start impriving in 10-15 days by above mentioned treatment.
