Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having muscular pain mostly.
But as a rule in chest pain,we have to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
If ECG is normal then it is muscular cause only.
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. Avoid movement causing pain.
4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
I find this answer helpful
