Thank you for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should first get done ecg to rule out cardiac cause as cardiac problem can cause tightness in chest with black outs. If this is normal than go for chest x ray for any lung problem. If this is normal than you may have GERD. It is gastroesophageal reflux disease. In which acid in the stomach tend to come up in the esophagus due to poor function of sphincter and cause symptoms. So consult your doctor and discuss this things.
