Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Since you are a heart patient, I believe you must be on drugs like Aspirin and Clopidrogrel.
These drugs are anti platelet and can cause bleeding manifestations like haemoptysis (blood in sputum).
I would suggest you to get a Xray Chest and discuss with your doctor about my opinion.
Good luck. I hope I am able to answer your query , still if you have any query ask me.
