Hi,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
Kindly get yourself checked by a physician. An Xray of the chest will give a better picture of the chest problem.If there is any infection you shall be given antibiotics.
Going by your age since off lately you are under a lot of stress an ECG would also be helpful for the diagnosis.
Thanks
