Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion .

You should know that typical heart pains have some characteristics . They usually are retro-sternal pains like squizzing , tightness or heaviness . They may irradiate to both arms , neck and jaw . They last from 5 to 20 minutes and in a case of heary attack may last even more.But you should know that heart attack ussaly is a dramatic situation, whith a hard pain, nauzea, vomiting
, sweet, tachycardia.

So, if you are experiencing chest pain and if heart disease runs in uour family than its time to do some examination.If I was the treating doctor I will recommend an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze, cardiac enzymes, and a strees test if it is possible.
it might be just an atypical pain coused by stress, but better to be safe.

After all this we can judge what we are dealling whith.

Hope I was helpfull.
Best regards, Dr.Ervina.
