Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out lower respiratory tract infection ( LRTI). Pneumonia appears more likely in your case. It causes pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Chest pain on coughing is characteristic feature of pleurisy. You are also having fever , which also favours pneumonia. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray to rule out pneumonia.
