Brief Answer:
You should go under prostate biopsy.
You should be visited by a cardiologist.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for using HCM.
Now that you have detected this problem , you need to face and follow the diagnostic and treatment steps one by one.
So first of all , you have to do the prostate biopsy, which is needed to make a sure diagnosis.
Depending on its response you will consult with the oncologist (if it results to be a malign tumor) or urologist (if it is a benign enlargement of prostate).
Regarding your chest pain , it may be caused by low blood pressure , and reflector tachycardia (high heart rate) stimulated by such actions such as urination, defecation , the change of the position etc.
Also the burn and difficulty on urination may cause tachycardia and chest pain.
Nevertheless you need to see a cardiologist to exclude more serious causes.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Juarda
