Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is not pneumonia as pneumonia should not last for 5 years. It is something else.
I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopy and BAL (Broncho Alveolar Lavage) analysis for
1. Malignancy
2. TB
3. Fungal infection
4. Connective tissue disease.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
