Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having mostly GERD ( gastroesophageal reflux disease ). Your symptoms like chest pain , vomiting after meals are more suggestive of GERD.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first for your chest pain.
So get done ecg. If ecg is normal then GERD is the probable cause in your case.
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest pain and vomiting.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Start Proton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
7. Loose weight if you are obese.
8. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
