Thank you for your question on HCM. In my opinion ramistar h is having ramipril and hydrochlorthiazide. Ramipril being an ACE inhibitor some times cause dry cough as side effect due its mechanism of action. So one possibility is ramipril induced cough. Since your chest x ray is normal pulmonary causes can be ruled out. You mother is having DM and HT so cough may be due to early heart failure.
