Symptom #2: Chest Pain

A pain in the chest can be the result of a wide range of causes. Many of the causes are harmless, while others can be rather more serious and should not be taken lightly. One cause of chest pain is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causes a thickening of the walls of the heart, reducing the flow of blood and causing the heart to work harder. It can be particularly noticeable after exercise. If you are experiencing regular chest pains, you should arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can.
