Hi Doctor,
I am having severe chest pain on the left side just & exactly at the same point at the back. I also feel breathlessness & often feel exhausted after climbing steps...

Please suggest examinations i should go through.

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I have gone through your question. As you have chest pain associated
with breathlessness increasing/brought on by exertion, cardiac (heart)
cause has to be ruled out first . An ECG and 2d Echocardiography are the
first and the primary investigations you have to undergo. depending on
those test a TMT (treadmill test) or an Angiogram may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr D Sunil Reddy
