Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having muscular pain due to muscle spasm.
But better to rule out pulmonary cause first for right sided chest pain. So get done chest x ray to rule out lung causes.
If it is normal than most probably you are having muscular pain.
Try to follow these.
Avoid strenuous exercise.
Avoid heavy weight lifting.
Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant.
Apply warm water pad to the affected side.
