Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having pleurisy ( inflammation of pleura ).
Chest pain or throbbing type associated with cough and deep breathing is characteristic of pleurisy.
Causes for pleurisy are
1. Pneumonia
2. Pleural effusion.
3. TB
4. Pneumothorax
5. Pulmonary contusions etc
So grt done chest x ray to rule out all these.
If chest x ray is normal than no need to worry much.
It is just musculoskeletal pain.
Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
I find this answer helpful
