Brief Answer:
You might be having GERD associated asthma.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You might be having cough variant asthma. It is type of asthma in which predominant symptom is dry cough.
Young patient usually does not have breathlessness in cough variant asthma.
Asthma is triggered by GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
GERD causes aspiration and it is more after eating.
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
So possibility of GERD induced cough variant asthma is more in your case.
Please let me know
1. Do you have burning epigastric pain after eating?
2. Do you have chest tightness or chest pressure after eating?
3. Do you have belching after eating?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
