Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
Yes, you should immediately consult cardiologist because your chest pain looks cardiac (ischaemia) only.
Heart racing, shoulder pain, relieved by nitrate are classic features of cardiac origin chest pain.
So don't wait at home.
Consult cardiologist immediately and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test
4. Coronary angiography if required.
You are mostly having coronary artery disease.
So better to consult cardiologist and start appropriate treatment.
