Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should definitely get done stress test. The reasons for these are
1. Age more than 60
2. Already having hypertension
3. Changes in EKG.
All these factors make you prone to ischemic heart disease. So better to identify it early by stress test. And it is non invasive test. It is like taking EKG while you are running on trademill. So don't think too much, get done stress test.
