I never had chest tightness and pain in my chest with HCM. Have you discussed your symptoms with your cardiologist? I don't know anyone who can "ace" the treadmill test with HCM.

I, too "aced" the treadmill test with HCM for many years. Never had another one after a different complication of HCM took place - syncope. Just from reading the comments, I learned that each of us can exhibit a different set of HCM symptoms. My cardiologist remarked that I had an unusual presentation of HCM, never had chest tightness or pain or breathing issues when exercising till after that syncope.
