Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry at all if your stress test and ECHO were clear.
Such transient chest discomfort do occur when you exert yourself by exercise or any way.
I don't find even a single reason to worry.
Just keep a watch on your lipid profile.
Continue your exercises. Eat Healthy. Don't smoke or consume alcohol.
So don't worry at all.
Anxiety would only aggravate your IBS. Prefer to sleep atleast 8 hours a day.
If you have any further query please ask me.

May i know What is your opinion about the following article published 2 days ago & NY times & Latin XXXXXXX newspaper , i don't mean that i will leave the gym but just a new life style ;
Whoever said no news is good news was wrong. Turns out drinking red wine is better for you than going to the gym! How’s that for good news? XXXXXXX Dyck and other science researchers in the University of Alberta in Canada found that red wine, nuts and grapes have a complex called resveratrol which improves heart, muscle and bone functions; the same way they’re improved when one goes to the gym. Resveratrol proved to be an effective antioxidant when tested on rodents which is why scientists are planning on testing it with diabetics. If results are positive for the benefits of the complex, patient’s heart health could be improved just as much as it does when they work out vigorously.

RELATED: Don't Forget! Drinking Beer Is Good For Your Memory

While scientists and wine lovers are rejoicing over this news, doctors are still unlikely to recommend their patients to start drinking any type of alcohol as it can have harmful effects on your body. People should keep in mind that these benefits can be enjoyed only when having one glass of wine with your evening meal, at the most. Resveratrol is specifically found in red wine as are some of the beneficial antioxidants referred to when talking about heart health. Red wine is also known to reduce ‘bad cholesterol’ and prevent blood clots.

Other benefits red wine is known for (when consumed in moderation, constantly) are: promoting longevity, cutting risk of cataracts and colon cancer, reducing risk of Type 2 Diabetes and slowing down brain decline (which beer is known for, too.) We think these are good excuses to kick back and relax with a glass of vino every single night. Bottoms up!

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Any article has medical significance only if it is published in a medical journal of repute.
No doctor would agree to this.
Red wine if taken in limited amount can help in increasing the good cholesterol but exercise helps in good circulation of heart and maintaining the body weight and hence controlling all the cholesterols.
And can you assure me that you would never ever have another drink!!
Once you start having red wine regularly a lot people end up in emptying the bottle in one night after few days.
Moreover you are also not allowed with that any alcohol binge on any other day.
Stop reading and beleiving the things which have not been proved in studies which are of repute.
If you want to indulge in alcohol then stop thinking about good Health.
In my life I have not seen a single person with good coronaries who consumes alcohol.
Eating right and exercising is the only key to be Healthy.
If you have any further query please ask me.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Hepatitis C and HIV are not known to transmit through smoking.
There are other infections including herpes that can spread through this way.
However you can ask your friend to get tested for Hepatitis C and HIV. If he agrees get him tested. If he is disease free you are totally safe.
Stay Healthy.
