Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Depending on the involvement of the lung tissue pneumonia has to be managed by proper antibiotics and analgesics as early as possible.Many a times it requires hospital admission and I feel you may require medical supervision because you are having breathing difficulty and chest pain.I were to admit and start treatment immediately and closely observe for the infection to subside.It might not cost much except the medication cost since it does not involve any surgery.Hope this helps and keeps you in good health.All the best.
