Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain
I have been experiencing severe chest pain for the past month. It first started out that it hit me suddenly and lasted about an hour. A week went by and it happened again. This past week it started happening every few days. The pain is right under my boobs on both sides and in the middle of my back. No position makes it feel better. Its a feeling of being squished. And in my back its almost as if I have been hit with something hard. The pain lasts now up to about two hours. What could this be?

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
For your chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause pulmonary causes first.
So get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Chest x ray. .
If all of the above tests are normal then no need to worry much for major cardiac and pulmonary causes.
You are mostly having musculoskeletal pain. So better to start painkiller and muscle relaxant.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
