Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
As a rule in left sided chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause first.
So better to get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test.
If all of the above tests are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
You are having simple muscular pain.
So take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
