Why Does My Chest Hurt On Moving My Torso?
My chest hurts a lot, if I lift my hands or move my torso it hurts like muscles are tearing apart surrounding my ribcage, also if I push the upper central part of my sternum its similar to the pain but slightly less hurtful, what seems to be the issue here?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having musculoskeletal pain only. But as a rule in chest x ray we have to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If this is normal than it must be musculoskeletal pain only.
Try to follow these for better relief.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad to affected area.
6. Wear chest belt for minimal mobilization of painful site.
