Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since you are having HOCM (Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy), better to rule out cardiac cause for your chest discomfort.
So get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Gastritis can be the cause for your symptoms. And this can be due to the thing you have eat yesterday.
So start Proton pump inhibitors. Avoid hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid stress and tension.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But first rule of cardiac cause.
