Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection ( LRTI).
Pneumonia appears more likely in your case.
It causes pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Chest pain on coughing is characteristic feature of pleurisy. You are also having fever , which also favours pneumonia.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out pneumonia.
