Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Initial symptoms were OK. Those symptoms could possibly be of the awkward position you took during sleep or due to some heavy work you did prior day. All other symptoms came when you started worried that you have some problem with your chest / heart. Whenever you watch it, it comes, even breathing difficulty, palpitation, pain etc. This is pure case of health anxiety. Nothing to worry. Still, to be doubly sure, consult a general practitioner.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
