Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of burning chest pain.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension.
2. Avoid large meals, Instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid hot and spicy food.
4. Start proton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent acid reflux.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
