Hi,

Greetings from Healthcare Magic!

You should be concerned about your cardiac status. Immediately consult a doctor when you experience chest pain. Also, take ECG. If ECG seems normal, then proceed to treadmill test. If it shows abnormal, doing CAG will help. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, as left ventricular hypertrophy indicates hypertension.


Thanks & regards,
Dr. K.T. Mathew
