HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Right now complete bed rest is the option you have with symptomatic analgesic treatment, the over all management is depend upon your clinical condition but in most of the cases conservative line of treatment gives the good result, in very rare condition the surgical intervention is needed, have nice day.
