General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi!
Thank you for using HCM
I had gone through your question and understand your concern .

If i were you treating doctor the first thing that i would do is heart examination cause the symptoms that you describes may be caused by an inferior infarction so you have to go to the hospital as soon as you can to do some examinations of your heart.
You need an ECG , some blood test to confirm the diagnosis of a possible infarct.
Meanwhile you are waiting to go to the doctor of you have chest pain again that last more than 5 Min take an Nitroglicerine under your tongue ( sublingual) and if you have aspirine to ( swollow it)
Write me again if you have any other questions.



Wish you good health!
