Brief Answer:
Get done PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, in my opinion, you are mostly having bronchitis.
It is inflammation of bronchi (airways) and commonly seen amongst smokers.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
