I have a pinching pain in my left chest area, which feels like is my heart. This has been happening for a while now and will come and go, but last for like 30 mins or so. I am in good shape 34 y/o female. Could this be caused by anxiety, or something else?
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having anxiety associated chest pain mostly. But as a rule in left sided chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. You are mostly having anxiety associated symptoms. So avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm.
