Brief Answer:
It could be due to pneumonia or some other infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

From your description it appears that it could be due to pneumonia or some other my infection. A routine blood count and a chest x-ray will help in arriving at a diagnosis.

Are you a smoker ?

I suggest you consult your PCP or a local Pulmonologist/chest Physician who will examine you in person, followed by those relevant tests and advise you accordingly.

Hope this answers your query.
Feel free to ask further.

Take care.
