Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion we should rule out pulmonary causes for your chronic cough.
Chronic lung infection or bronchitis can cause chronic cough.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
