Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to gastro-esophageal reflux.

For this reason, I would recommend taking an antiacid or PPI(omeprazole, pantoprazole, etc.) before racing.

If the chest pain is improved, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy.

Otherwise, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test.

If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
