Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. High cholesterol or triglycerides can give such chest pain. Cardiac ischemia should be ruled out by doing ECG. If ECG is clear a TMT test should be done to rule out exercise induced ischemia also. Lipid profile should be checked and if high medications should be taken and life style modification should be followed. Statins and fibrates combination will be helpful in such case. Low dose aspirin can be included with your doctors advise also as a prophylactic measure.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
