Hello Jitendra!

Welcome on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that it is important performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis between different causes that may lead to this clinical scenario:

- coronary artery disease (considering that you suffer from arterial hypertension, which is a known cardio-vascular risk factor)
- a lung disorder
- a musculo skeletal pain
- a backbone disorder

Is the chest pain triggered by deep breathing or a certain body position? This would be indicative of musculo-skeletal pain.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- a cardiac stress test (TMT)
- a lung X ray study
- a cervico-thoracic spine X ray study
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
