Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
As per your discussion it seems that your Husband have cough for 6weeks and that have not responded to treatment with 3 episode of fainting. this fainting could be because of cough Syncope if fainting was associated with coughing at the time of fainting. You need to get his Chest Xray, Lung Function done and SOS CAT Scan done to rule out other causes of cough.
