Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to an infection.

Do you have fever? Have you measured your body temperature?

I would recommend going to the ER for a careful physical exam, a chest Xray study and some blood lab tests( complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate).

If a bacterial infection is suspected, you may need to start antibiotic therapy.

Meanwhile, I would recommend taking plenty of water, closely monitor your body temperature and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the pain or fever.

Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
Dr. Aida
