General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Since you have previous history of heart attack, you need to get evaluated immediately for the severe pain in the chest you are complaining of. It is grave emergency situation as heart attack needs to be ruled out.
Kindly get admitted and checked for:
1. Electrocardiogram.
2. Echocardiogram with colour doppler.
3. Cardiac Troponin and CK-MB levels in blood.
4. Blood pressure and Oxygen saturation.
In case there is any indication of cardiac involvement, you need to be treated accordingly from a Cardiologist.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
