Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) related chest pain.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If ECG is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. You are mostly having GERD due to drugs and poor dietery habits.
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.
So avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension. Start proton pump inhibitor. Go for walk after meals. Don't worry, you will be alright.
