Thanks for your question on HCM.
I want to ask you few question.
1. Are you smoker?
2. Do you have exposure to smoke or chemical at work place?
So In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and rule out bronchitis.
As smokers and workplace exposure can cause bronchitis.
You need chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to diagnose bronchitis. PFT will also give you idea about severity of the disease. And depends on this treatment is directed. So get done chest x ray and PFT.
