Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it seems anxiety related only, but we need to check cardiac cause first. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If this is normal than stress and anxiety may be the cause.
Stress and tension produce anxiety and this causes chest tighness and increasing chest pressure and cause the symptoms.
So better to avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. She may need psychiatrist opinion for anti anxiety drugs.
