Thanks for your question on HCM.
Low blood pressure with chest tightness is seen in many causes.
But common ones are
1. Cardiac cause
2. Anemia
3. Hypothyroidism etc.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause first.
If both are normal than no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Get done CBC ( Complete Blood Count ) and S.TSH to rule out anemia and thyroid diseases.
If both are normal than it must be anxiety and stress related. So avoid stress and tension.
