Hello,
I can understand your concern.
Considering your age i would suggest an ecg and 2d echo to be done to rule out any infarction.
In case of any changes in ecg relating to an infarct a trop t test would be beneficial.
Unless a cardiac cause is ruled out it should not be taken lightly.
Take aspirin 325mg for pain relief and further management to be done after the investions.
Hope i have answered your concerns.
Feel free to ask further questions.
Thanks for choosing HCM
