Thanks for your question on HCM. Your chest pain seems musculoskeletal in nature. And mostly it is from costochondritis. It is inflammation of cartilage and bone.
But I still advice you to consult orthopaedic surgeon.
If this is normal than thorough breast examination is required as some times breast swelling can also cause similar pain. So better to go for mammography.
