Brief Answer:
You probably have angina pectoris

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for asking HCM,

I understand your concern. Regarding to your symptoms, it seems like you are having angina pectoris, a condition of your heart in which you feel pain by stress or excercise because your heart vessels are not able to deliver enough oxygen in this situations.
It could be that you had this condition for the first time the time you was in hospital and they did nit recognize it because all examinations done after the attack are normal.
My suggestion is to visit your GP who will send you to do ergometry, examination in which you run and are monitored by ecg the whole time to provoke attack. You will also have to wear ecg holter for 24h.
It is important to recignize this condition, because without treatment it can lead to heart attack.
So I hope you will listen to my advice and visit your doctor.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
