Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern, and would like to explain that when facing with such an important complain (chest pain), it is important to perform a comprehensive differential diagnosis, to exclude/confirm primarily major acute chest pain syndromes (acute coronary syndrome, acute aortic syndrome, acute pulmonary embolism).

Serving such a purpose, a careful medical check up is necessary, starting from a physical exam, resting ECG, chest X ray study, cardiac enzymes, arterial blood gas analysis, etc.

If enough suspicions are raised, other specific imagine studies may be performed, such as triple rule out chest angio CT. MRI, etc.

In the case when all the above performed tests result normal, then a psychological component should be sought as a responsible contributor to your complains (which is also compatible to your "waiting for a job" status).

So my advice is to run to your local ER service and discuss with the attending doctor about the above mentioned issues.

Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
