Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you are having infection in your lungs. So I advice you to get done chest x ray first. If this is normal than get done pulmonary function test(PFT) To rule out bronchitis.
And GERD(Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) can worsen bronchitis. So better control of GERD is needed to control your chest symptoms.
You should start broad spectrum antibiotic like fluoroquinolone and oral bronchodilators.
For GERD try to follow these steps.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food, avoid stress and anxiety.
2. Avoid large meals.
3. Take omeprazole with domeperidone combination.
4. Go for walk after meals.
