Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you have ruled out cardiac cause for your chest pain, I think it is anxiety related only.
I believe anxiety is the cause because you clearly said that your pain worsens when you are at stress, after death of your mom and dad. This clearly indicates anxiety as the cause.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify the stressor in your life and cope up with it.
Avoid tension. Be relax and calm.
You may also need anxiolytic drugs too. Newer anxiolytic drugs are very safe, non habit forming and less sedative. So no harm in starting it, if necessary.
I find this answer helpful
