Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having mostly anxiety related chest pain. Because your age is too young (27) for heart problems.
But better to get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause.
If ECG is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
It seems anxiety related mostly.
Anxiety is the major risk factor for acid reflux. So central burning pain is because of this acid reflux.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions to identify stressor in your life. Start working on it and avoid stress, tension. Be relax and calm.
