Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since your cardiac work up is negative for chest pain, we need to rule out pulmonary causes.
Pulmonary causes for your symptoms are
1. Infection like pneumonia.
2. Pleural effusion
3. Bronchitis.
So get done chest x ray and PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out all these.
If these are also normal than your chest may be due to muscular pain only.
Try to follow these for relief.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy weight lifting.
2. Avoid bad posture in sleep.
3. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected area.
