What Causes Moderate Pain In Chest And Dizziness?

I have been feeling a moderate pain in my chest area. The area differs, from the top of my ribcage, sometime left chest, sometimes middle of chest etc. Accompanied by dizziness during the day at times, coming out of the blue and lasting for about 10-20 seconds and then it s gone.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we need to rule out cardiac cause first. As chest discomfort on left side with dizziness favours cardiac cause.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out heart related causes.
If both these are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases.
Anemia and thyroid issues can also cause similar complains. So get done CBC to rule out anemia and S. TSH to rule out thyroid diseases.
If these are also normal than your symptoms may be due to stress and anxiety. So better to avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
