Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is necessary investigate for the possible causes underlying your symptoms (pleuritis, pericarditis, a musculo-skeletal pain, etc.).

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes:

- a chest X ray study
- a restin ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- PCR, ESR for inflammation.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
