Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
We need to rule out lung infection and bronchitis in your case.
Thick sputum with breathing difficulty since 5-6 years, is seen in both.
So get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
Better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and mucolytic with expectorant.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
