Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having bronchitis.
As your symptoms like chest tightness and breathing difficulties are seen in bronchitis.
So get done PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test ) to rule out bronchitis. PFT is needed not only to diagnose bronchitis but can also tell about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
If PFT is normal than mostly upper Respiratory tract infection ( URTI ) is the cause. As throat tightness is seen in URTI.
So try to follow these steps.
1. Avoid oily and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids. Warm water gargles 5 - 6 times a day.
2. Macrolide group of antibiotic. Antihistamine and anti inflammatory drug combination.
