Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having muscular pain only.
Better to start these treatment.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
3. Take pain killers and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected side.
5. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Try to follow these for 5 days. If not improving than get done ECG and X ray to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes.
