Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since your daughter's cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry much about heart diseases.
I think it is muscular pain mostly.
So try to follow these 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.
5. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilisation of affected area.
6. If weight is more than try for weight loss.
