Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having symptoms on strenuous work. And your all symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, giddiness, dizziness etc on strenuous work are seen commonly in cardiac disease.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal than get done chest x ray and PFT ( PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST ) to rule out respiratory cause for your symptoms.
If this is also normal than got done CBC ( Complete Blood Count ) to rule out anemia as anemia can also cause similar symptoms.
I find this answer helpful
