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 ) You might be having lung infection or bronchitis. So chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and start appropriate treatment.
