Hi,Dear ,Thanks for the query to My HCM clinic.
I studied your query and understood your concerns.
In my opinion-you suffer mostly from -diaphragmatic-Pluritis -post bronchitis due to the viral?bacterial infection as it worstens on laying down.
-I would do chest Xray to rule out any old TB Lungs- along with -
CBC/ESR /PPD/IGRA-Inerferron Gamma Release Assay to detect the old TB reactive immunity.
Hope this would resolve the issue and would help you to plan treatment for
your chest pain with cough with your doctor.
Wellcome for further queries in this regard.
Good Night.
