Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having too many health issues simultaneously.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
You are having chronic cough since 5 months. So we need to rule out lung infection and bronchitis first.
So chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
Uncontrolled sleep apnea can also cause chronic cough.
So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
You are having stress incontinence (urine problem). So control of cough is needed to treat urine problem.
