Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having chronic cough with nodular opacity in left upper lobe. This can be seen in following conditions.
1. Tuberculosis
2. Chronic pneumonia.
3. Fungal infection.
4. Benign cyst
5. Lung abscess
6. Lung cancer.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. CT thorax with contrast
2. Bronchoscopic evaluation
Both are needed to rule out above mentioned conditions.
So, don't panic, consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
