Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From your history it seems due to heavy weight lifting you get strain and spasm of muscles giving rise to this problems.
But as you are 40 years go for cardiac check up like ECG, Lipid profile.
Meanwhile you may take analgesic and muscle relaxant medicines as and when required.
Ok and bye.
