Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No need to worry much about cardiac cause for your chest pain, because your ECG and stress test are normal.
And no need to worry for mild left sided heart enlargement as it is commonly seen in hypertensive patients.
So my advice to you is
1. Avoid extra salt intake.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Control of blood pressure is must for you. So take your antihypertensive drugs regularly and do regular timely follow up with your doctor.
4. Start exercise.
