Hi welcome to HCM,
Your symptoms are related to stress and anxiety.So do not worry.Get investigations like ECG,2D ECHO,lipid profile,complete blood picture,chest xray as a part of routine screening of your heart.Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly.Exercise regularly for 20-30 min.Take high protein low fat diet with salt intake less than 6g per day.Breathing exercises and music therapy can also improve your condition.If still problem persists drugs like propranolol and anti anxiety drugs will be benefecial.consult your doctor for expert management.
