Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it seems muscular pain mostly.
But since you are smoker, we need to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If ECG is normal than no need to worry much.
It is muscular pain only.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
And quit smoking as soon as possible. This is not a good habit.
