Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should definitely get done
1. ECG
2. 2D Echo.
To rule out cardiac cause.
As sharp chest pain can be due to anginal pain. So better to rule out this first.
If both are normal than no need to worry much.
You mostly have anxiety related problems only.
So avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
