Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since your cardiac work up is normal, I think you are having muscular pain mostly.
So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
5. Avoid movement s causing pain.
6. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilisation of affected area.
If not improving in 5 days than get done chest x ray.
