Thanks for your question on HCM.
It seems muscular cause only but need to rule out heart causes first.
So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If this is normal than your symptoms are mostly due to muscular pain.
So follow these for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy weight lifting.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Take painkillers and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad to affected site.
