Brief Answer:
Do you have breathlessness?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
And most common cause for this is bronchitis and lung infection.
It is also seen in lung cancer.
Since your chest x ray is normal no need to worry for this infection or cancer.
Possibility of bronchitis is more.
Please let me know
1. Do you have breathlessness?
2. Do you have chemical exposure?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
In early stages of cancer, x ray can be normal.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.. Honestly speaking, in early stages of cancer, chest x ray can be normal.
So if you really want to rule out lung cancer than get done CT thorax with Contrast.
If this is normal than no need to worry for lung cancer.
Please let me know if you had CT thorax done.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
