Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having cardiac disease. And most probably coronary artery disease.
Risk factors in your case are
1. Heart function is very low only 35%.
2. Heart rate very high (tachycardia)
3. Age more than 30.
4. Recurrent left sided chest pain which is radiating towards left arm.
So get done 2D Echo and TMT (Trade Mill Test) to rule out heart disease. Also get done coronary angiography to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) as chances of CAD are very high in your case.
I find this answer helpful
