Hello
thanks for posting at HCM.
First of all I would like to know some details about your age, associated conditions, body built and family history of heart disease. I dont suspect what you got during the act as a heart related episode. But since your symptoms are typical - chest pain on exertion radiating to the arm, I suggest you to do a treadmill test which requires you to walk on a treadmill, while your ECG is continuously being monitored. This is a quite sensitive test and will give us information about possible presence of heart disease. Please get a TMT done and revert back.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
