Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely due to gastritis.As your stomach get pressed while you pushes your faeces out you will get that feeling.Stomach and heart has same nerve supply which gives you a pain feeling in chest.A 2 week proton pump inhibitor therapy may improve this.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
