Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM.
I understand your concern.
Cancer is a possible cause of hemoptysis.However, with a past history on COPD, a bacteria superinfection may give such symptoms.I will advise you see your Doctor for a chest CT scan or a chest x ray.This will help tell if your problem is of infectious or cancerous origin.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Wish you good health
