HI
Thank for asking to the HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that your chest pain need to be investigated first and the best option is EKG test you need to get done this test, if this turned unremarkable then you can try the "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day" for few weeks, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
