Thanks for your question on HCM.
By your history I think you are having acute attack of asthma. And infections are the most common cause for this.
Better to visit Emergency department , as we need to check oxygen level. If low than you may need supplemental oxygen therapy.
Chest x ray is akso needed. And if infective patch is there than we need to start parenteral antibiotics.
You may need corticosteroid injection also. As they are potent anti inflammatory drugs and treatment of choice in asthma attack.
Injectable bronchodilators like theophyllin group is also useful.
So don't wait at hone, rush to the emergency department and start the treatment.
I find this answer helpful
