General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. As you getting chest pain it is better to have an ecg examination to rule out any cardiac problems. A tread mill test also should be done to rule out exercise induced ischaemia. Problems due to gastritis should be ruled out also. Another possibility is costochondritis. In this case pain will be present while palpation. A consultation with with your general practitioner is well appreciated to rule out all these.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
