Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Anxiety appears more in your case.
Cardiac causes are not common at your age (19), but better to rule out cardiac cause first for your chest pain.
So get done ecg. If ecg is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
You are mostly having anxiety related symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
