Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your husband's situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first for your husband and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test)
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
Both lung infection and bronchitis can cause cough, congestion and breathlessness.
So better to consult pulmonologist for your husband, first diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
