Brief Answer:
Better to get done chest x ray first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, you are mostly having muscular pain due to exercise and weight lifting.
But better to rule out lung infection by chest x ray as chest pain on coughing can be seen in lung infection. And you are also having cold recently, this can also cause lung infection in some cases.
So we need to rule out lung infection first.
Get done chest x ray, if chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung infection.
It is muscular pain only.
So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid bad postures in sleep and painful movements.
Start painkiller and muscle relaxant.
Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
