Thanks for your question on HCM. It seems mostly musculoskeletal pain. But as a rule in chest pain,we have to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first.
So better to get done
1. ECG for cardiac causes.
2. Chest x ray for pulmonary causes.
If both of the above are normal than your pain must be of musculoskeletal origin.
So take good painkillers and muscle relaxant. Avoid weight lifting and movements causing pain.
Apply warm water at the site pain.
