HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You have history of lung cancer, and the present complain is related with the chest it self so the first thing comes in mind is the malignant process this could be a cause, if we neglect it here then it would not be wise step in my opinion better to rule out this possibility and for that you need to have words with your oncologist, take care and have good day.
