Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should not worry at all for your symptoms.
Your all investigations for cardiac and pulmonary diseases are normal. So no need to worry for major illness.
And some amount of chest tightness and pressure is normal after 1 mile of walking.
So no need to worry for these symptoms.
You may have anxiety as a cause. Because chest tightness and pressure with normal cardiac reports is characteristic feature of anxiety.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
