Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should avoid heavy exertion and take rest at home. Get done TMT (Trade Mill Test) first to rule out cardiac cause.
There are many causes for fluid in lungs but when it is due to cardiac cause, we call it as pulmonary edema.
So we need to rule out cardiac causes first. I advice you to get done 2D Echo also for evaluation of heart function.
As decreased heart function lead to pulmonary edema.
