Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, you have dry cough and backache,and treated case of atrial fibrillation.
Your blood pressure medicines you have not mentioned if they belong to ACE inhibitor or Beta Blocker group can cause cough.
Dry cough is possible due to infection in chest and drug side effects, any pathology growing in lung so get examined by Physician and test like X ray chest , pulmonary function tests. Echocardiography must be done to know cause.
Amiodarone is the drug which can cause lung fibrosis so it must be evaluated by x ray chest.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
