Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
In your case we need to rule out lung infection and bronchitis.
As both of these condition can cause chronic cough and mucus secretion.
So chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
