Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Yes, ECG is needed in chest pain with anemia.
Hemoglobin is very important for body. It is the only substance which carries oxygen to all organs of the body.
So when hemoglobin is low, all body organs are getting less oxygen and so heart needs to pump more rapidly to fulfill the body 's demand of oxygen.
So anemia increase cardiac work load and thus can damage heart.
So chest pain in anemia patients should be evaluated for cardiac damage.
So ecg is must in your case.
And correction of anemia is must for you.
So start your iron and multivitamin tablets.
I find this answer helpful
