Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out chest infection and bronchitis.
Even after treatment for 8 days, you still feel hard on breathing, so better to rule out above possibilities first.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators too.
And don't drink wine or bear with medicines.
It is not a good habit.
You should quit all your habits.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these and start treatment accordingly.
