Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Chest tightness and shortness of breath following physical activity require evaluation for coronary artery disease.
ECG, exercise stress testing are required to confirm the diagnosis
Please be advised to follow up with an urgent care/ emergency room as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, take 2 aspirins at home if available
Hope this answers your question
