Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having musculoskeletal pain due to pressing.
No need to press that part.
It os fixed bony structure, so if you press it, you will definitely feel pain.
So better to avoid pressing.
Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy weight lifting.
In my opinion you will be alright by doing all these. But if you still feel pain then start painkiller and muscle relaxant.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
