Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you had chest pain after eating, I think it is reflux disease only. But better to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first.
So get done ECG and chest x ray to rule out these.
If both are normal than your symptoms are due to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflyx Disease) only. Try to follow these for better control of symptoms in reflux disease.
1. Avoid hot, spicy and too much sour food like vinegar.
2. Avoid large meals, take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and anxiety.
4. Take proton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2-3 pillows under your head in bed.
7. Avoid habits like smoking or alcohol if you have.
8. If obese than loose weight.
