What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest With Occasional Breathlessness?
I m having a pulling sensation in my chest every so often and when I exercise and gets so bad to the point that I must stop exercising. Also, I will get a sharp pain in my chest out of no where and it only lasts a couple seconds but I feel very dizzy when these pains occur. I m short of breath occasionally and get dizzy often.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having musculoskeletal pain only.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So please get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If this is normal than it is mostly muscular pain only.
So try to follow these for muscular pain.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad to the affected area.
