Hello and welcome to HCM,
Chest pain associated with worrying thoughts suggests sympathetic stimulation rather than any organic disease.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for assessment of blood pressure and general examination.
Increased sympathetic stimulation can be managed by drugs called sympathatolytics.
Further management can be planned after clinical assessment.
Thanks and take care
