Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test )
I think you are having bronchitis due to viral infection. It is very common in winters and cold climate.
PFT is needed to diagnose bronchitis.
This will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only.
So consult pulmonologist and rule out bronchitis first.
