Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes.
So get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause.
Get done chest x ray to rule out pulmonary cause.
If both of the above are normal than it may br muscular pain only.
Try to follow these for better control of muscular 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 affected area.
6. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilisation.
