Suggest Treatment For Pain In Chest While Breathing
When I woke up this morning my lungs felt heavy like I had just finished running a marathon. The discomfort has persisted all day. I feel a pain when I breathe in deep in the center of my chest and I can feel a dull pain each time my heart beats - which is at bit of an elevated pace, reaching about 94 bpm when I m usually closer to 70 bpm. I m 26 years old. Fit. Non-smoker.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we should rule out pulmonary and cardiac cause for your symptoms.
Pulmonary causes like infection can cause similar symptoms.
So get done chest x ray to rule out this.
If this is normal than get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause like arrhythmia.
If both are negative than no need to worry much.
It is mostly due to anxiety.
So avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm.
