Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since your cardiac and blood evaluation are normal, chest x ray is needed to rule out lung causes for your pain.
Lung infection can cause this type of pain.
So get done chest x ray.
If chest x ray is normal than I think it is muscular pain only due to muscle pull.
Try to follow these for your pain.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on pain area.
6. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilization of paiful area.
