Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test.
Because of high possibility of congenital cardiac disease in your son's case.
His symptoms like chest pain and waxy white hands are seen in ASD, VSD and other congenital heart disease.
So better to rule out this first.
