hello...
thanks for your query on HCM...
most common reason for left sided chest pain is heart attack...
better do get an ECG done,
after interpreting it, it will give an idea as to what exactly is the problem,
do visit a physician,
let him diagnose the condition through varieties of tests...
dont have a doubt about their interpretation..
most of the times they will be right...
after diagnosing, do take appropriate treatment..
things will surely improve...
wish you good health
