Hello and thank you for asking in HCM.

I can understand your concern.

If it is for the first time and you do not have any other complains the problems of your stomach it would be better to do:
Fibrobronchoscopy
Chest X Ray
Spirometry test

According to the results the respective specialists or the GP would decide what to do further.
Meanwhile you can try to lose a little bit weight,be careful with the foods .

Wish you good health

Thank you
