Throat feels tight. Doc says I can breathe ok, and says it s my anxiety, but feels like weight is on my chest and hurts to breathe sometimes. Always hard to breathe since New Years of this year.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your problem and situation.
For your symptoms, we need to first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes.
So get done
1. ECG for cardiac causes.
2. Chest x ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) for pulmonary causes.
If all are negative then no need to worry much cardiac and pulmonary causes.
You are mostly having anxiety.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
