Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since you are smoker and left since 4 days only, possibility of bronchitis is high in your case.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airway and symptoms are cough with expectoration, breathlessness and wheezing.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
So get done PFT.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines drugs.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
