Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your problem and situation.
Yes, you are right about tuberculosis. Possibility of tuberculosis is high in your case because of following reasons.
1. Chronic cough for atleast 2 months.
2. Blood in phlegm (hemoptysis)
3. Weight loss.
4. Jail is a closed space. And TB infection is common in closed area due to poor ventilation.
So I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Sputum examination for AFB to rule out tuberculosis.
If both are negative than get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis.
As bronchitis can also cause hemoptysis and cough.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
