Thanks forr your question on HCM.in my opinion you should 1st get done chest x ray to rule out cause for pleurisy. Pleurisy is inflammation of pleura and cause chest pain on coughing , sneezing, deep inspiration etc. Causes of pleurisy can be pneumonia, TB, pleural effusion. To rule out all this you need to get done chest x ray. And if it is negative than no need to worry. It is just a viral infection. Take plenty of fluids and antihistaminics for symptomatic relief.
