Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
There are many medical conditions that may give you the symptoms you describe.Possible causes may include:
-Digestive problems like heartburns, swallowing disorders with oesophagus, Gallbladder and pancreas problems
-Injuries and other problems affecting the structures that make up the chest wall like Costochondritis, Sore muscles from weight lifting/Injured ribs
-Other causes like panic attacks and shingles.
-Heart related causes may be less likely as per your Doctor and lungs related problems like pleuresy less likely as no respiratory symptoms like cough.
I will suggest you take a pain drug like aceclofenac, rest well and observe.If pains persist, you see your Doctor for evaluation and an X ray if need be.
Hope this will help
Best regards
