Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Considering your past medical history for coronary artery disease, I would recommend consulting with your doctor as soon as possible and performing some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- a dobutamine stress echo or a myocardial perfusional cardiac stress test to investigate for the presence of coronary artery disease.

If these tests result normal, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for the presence of gastritis or esophagitis, which can be related to gastro-esophageal reflux.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
