Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is mostly muscular pain only due to muscle twitching and spasm.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ECG. If this is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
5. Avoid stress and anxiety.
As stress can also cause muscular twitching.
