Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having muscular pain only, as your pain increased on activity.
So follow these for relief in muscular pain.
1. Avoid painful movements. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.
3. Apply warm water pad on painful area.
Another possibility os reflux disease. As you are eating spucy food and taking antacids. Better to follow these for reflux disease.
1. Avoid hot, spicy food. Avoid large meals. Insted take frequent small meals.
2. Avoid stress and anxiety. Quit habits if you have any.
3. Take proton pump inhibitors.
4. Go for walk after meals.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.
