Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
You are having crackelling sound in your chest, this suggest possibility of secretions due to infection mostly.
So chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
You are having recurrent cough since one year. So we need to rule out chronic bronchitis. So PFT is needed to rule out chronic bronchitis.
So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself properly than start treatment accordingly.
I find this answer helpful
