Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should diagnose first with PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and consult pulmonologist.
And bronchitis needs bronchodilators as main therapy. Either oral or inhaled form. In my practice I prefer inhaled bronchodilator more over oral.
With this antibiotics and low dose oral steroids are effective.
So consult pulmonologist first and discuss these things.
