Like, the muscle tissue hurts constantly, and if I add pursue to it, it hurts my ribs. So, I wanna know what s going on, cause it s really pissing me off with the pain

Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion it is muscular pain only and has no relation with shirt. But still I advice you to get done chest x ray first and rule out lung cause. If it is normal than it is mostly muscular pain. Follow these steps for relief.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
2. Avoid movements causing pain
3. Take painkillers with muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water on affected part during bathing.
5. Wear chest belt for prevention of movement of affected part.
