Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion she is having lung infection or bronchitis.
As thick white mucus, coughing and low energy can be seen in both.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test )
Chest x ray is needed to rule out chest infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
