Hi and welcome to HCM. This is usualy not indicating some serious disease but you need to do pulmologist work up to rule out bronchiits, emphysema or pneumonia. you should do xrays and ventilatory tests. You nned to stop smoking if you do it and avoid smoky areas. if you notice pain in chest or fever you should see doctor asap. Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
