What Does Stinging Sharp Pain In The Chest Indicate?
I get this stinging pain in the centre of my chest that I usually get once every 3 months roughly but yesturday it was hurting more and caused me to slow down when I was walking also I noticed the deeper I inhaled/exhaled the strong the sharp pain got. Can you tell what this is and perhaps how to prevent it ?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain.
So get done
1. ECG
2. 2 d echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both of the above are normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
You may have anxiety related pain.
So better to avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant for pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
