Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or body movement? This could indicate a possible musculo-skeletal disorder. In such case Ibuprofen would help relieve the pain.

Gastro-esophageal reflux is another possible cause of this symptomatology.

For this reason, I would recommend trying taking Ibuprofen 400mg. If the pain still persists, I would recommend adding also omeprazole.

But, in my opinion there is no need to perform any additional tests because your symptoms are not indicative of any serious medical disorder.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
