Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are mostly having anxiety and related symptoms.
At your age(14) cardiacdisease is extremely uncommon.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first for your chest pain.
So get done ecg. If ecg is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
You are having anxiety mostly.
Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
