Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having musculoskeletal pain only due to blunt chest trauma because of fall.
But we need to rule out internal organ damage. So get dobe chest x ray. If chest x ray is normal than your pain is musculoskeletal only.
Try to follow these for better relief.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad to the affected site.
