Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray. Yes, this can be pleurisy ( inflammation of pleura ). Because chest pain on deep breathing and coughing is characteristic feature of pleurisy. So we need to rule out pleurisy first. Following are the possible causes for pleurisy. 1. Pneumonia 2. Tuberculosis 3. Pleural effusion 4. Pulmonary contusions etc. So better to get done chest x ray to rule out above possible causes for pleurisy. Don't worry, you will be alright.
