Brief Answer:
Please do the following tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM

I can understand your concern

If you were my patient according to the history and given the fact that the tersts that you have already done have shown nothing, the next step for better examination of your lungs that i would recommend you is to do other important tests as follow:

Spirometry
Chest CT
ECG
Explorative Fibrobronchoscopy

I am sure that they will provide us a very useful information about your lungs and your airways to find the cause of this situation.

If they come negative than the lungs are excluded .

And probably the stomach problems (like reflux) are disturbing you for a such a long time.

Please discuss for the above with your doctor.

If you do them you can attach me the results and i am here to help you again.
