Hi Welcome to HCM.

I understand your concern.Concor is usually taken at night just prior to going to bed.This will help to control the blood pressure variations pretty well without much swings.The chest discomfort in your case has to be further addressed based on the findings of baseline EKG and 2 dimensional screening echo.These tests can throw light on the cardiac functional reserve.Additionally you need to have coronary angiogram to evaluate any obstructive lesions in the circulation,and in any such case you should promptly undergo percutaneous metallic stenting to restore the blood flow and improve your symptoms.Discuss the above with your cardiologist.Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
