Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first and get done clinical examination and chest x ray.
Possibility of lung infection is more.
Your pain in back and Front of chest can be due to pleuritic pain because of lung infection.
Another supporting evidence is enlarged tender lymphnode.
2nd possibility of pleural effusion due to either infection or malignancy. As enlarged lymphnode can be seen in malignancy.
So better to consult pulmonologist first and get done chest x ray to rule out these possibilities.
