Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Burning pain in left side of chest is mostly due to GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause burning pain.
So avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and anxiety.
Start Proton pump inhibitors. Go for walk after meals.
You will mostly improvement by these lifestyle modifications.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
