Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
HCM-Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy-or/ ?HOCM-it obstructive variant from Subaortic stenosis.
Chest pains in this scenario-needs to be assessed carefully,as the compomised heart function is due to the LVOT (Left Ventricle outflow Tract) obstruction severity.
IN this case you can start Aspirin for the prevention of the Chest pain for the time being.
Should stop the exercise to reduce the exposure to the risks from chest pains.
And should consult cardiologist as soon as possible /if the chest pain recurrs still with this you should contact ER Cardiologist immediately for further management.
IF he can't cardiologist for few weeks,seek for options to tackle the emergency with the ER Cardiologist.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
