Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should definitely go to clinic and get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause first. The points favouring cardiac disease are
1. Post menopause age. Protective effect of estrogen has been lost at this age.
2. You are already on hypertension medicines.
3. Your symptoms like left arm pain, diziness, elevated heart rate and chest tight Ness favours cardiac cause.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardic cause.
