I had a panic attack last night and felt I couldn t breath ..it went away but I was still uncomfortable I woke up this morning and was fine but the feeling came back. I just feel like a burning sensation in my chest and occasionally my left arm when I move it a certain way. I m really freaked out..help please!!

Thanks for your question on HCM.
As a rule any chest pain with arm pain should be investigate for cardiac cause first.
So please get done ECG. If it is normal than no need to worry for cardiac cause.
It may be related to GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Due to this acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms.
Try to follow these.
1. Avoid stress anxiety.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food.
3. Avoid large meals, take small meals.
4. Take proton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
