What Causes Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

I have been having chest pains on right side upper area (this evening while outside for just a short time in the cold wind I started to get tight in this area and then very cold quickly as well as shortness of breath which lasted for 10 to 15 minutes until I was sitting relaxed in the house) this is not the first time I have a fairly significant back and muscle issue that I have been trying to deal with for two months stress seems to be a major issue based on my last doctors visit (have prescription to help) could the back issue and stress be the issue

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should first rule of cardiac cause for your symptoms.
So get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal then no need to worry much.
Stress can be the reason for your symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
