Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much as your all body parameters are normal. But still I advice you to get done chest x ray to rule out internal organ damage.
If this is normal than no need to worry. Try to follow these for symptomatic control.
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 the affected part.
6. Wear chest belt for minimal mobilisation of affected part.
