Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
You should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Pulmonary function test (PFT)
Since you are smoker, and symptoms like wheezing and cough, I think you are having chronic bronchitis.
For this chest x ray and PFT are must.
And I request you to quit smoking as early as possible. It will harm you alot.
You may need inhaled treatment.
But first quit smoking and consult pulmonologist.
I find this answer helpful
