Is Uncomfortable In The Chest A Heart Problem Or Anxiety?
I experienced last night for about 2 hours an uncomfortable feeling in the left side of my chest which I thought was due to anxiety which I suffer from. I did not call the emergency room and it eventually went away. Was that a heart problem which I should have gone to the emergency room for or could it have been to anxiety as I thought or something else?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if this is chest discomfort then this should never be underestimated even if you have a history of anxiety and depression then also this is to be taken seriously and should go for investigation and the best is EKG get done this test to rule of some doubt, take care and have nice day.
