HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I would suggest to continue the prescribed medicine (Clopitogrel) because the muscular pain may not be due to that but it could be muscular spasm or it could be nonspecific one, if the pain is continue then clinical examination is must, else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
