Hello and thank you for using HCM.
I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern. I will tray to explain you something about chest pain.

A typical heart chest pain does have some characteristic. Heart pains are usually retro-sternal chest pains, like tightness, squeezing or heaviness. They might irradiate to the neck, both arms and jaw. They last from 5 to 20 minutes. Usually they exacerbate during efforts.

So, if I was your treating doctor and as you are experiencing chest pains i will recommend a full heart chek up like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo-cardiogram and a strees test to exclude heart problems.

Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health.
Best regards.
