Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is stress related only. But as arule we have to rule out cardiac cause first in chest pain.
So get done ECG to rule of heart related problems.
If this is normal than your symptoms are mostly due to anxiety and stress.
So I advice you to avoid stress, anxiety.
Keep calm and be relax. Avoid work related stress. Spend more time with family and friends. There are many gid nonhabit forming anxiolytics are available in market. You can also use them after psychiatric consultation.
