Thanks for your question on HCM.
The palpitations you are describing may be muscle fasciculations. And when they appear on left arm and left thigh after chest pain, needs cardiac work up.
So better to get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both of these are normal than we need to rule out anemia and thyroid disease.
So get done CBC and S.TSH level to rule out these.
If all these are normal than it must be related to stress and anxiety.
So avoid stress and anxiety. Keep calm and relax.
