Thanks for your question on HCM. Pulled chest muscle needs following treatment. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid movement s causing pain. 4. Avoid bad postures during sleep. 5. Take painkillers and muscle relaxant. 6. Wear chest belt so that movement of affected area is minimized. 7. Hot water pad application. So no harm in hot water pad application. Also try other things mentioned above.
