Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cough
I have a deep cough (like bronchitis cough) that comes & goes throughout the day. Some days worse than others. I also get a burning sensation between my shoulder blades or on my left side. Also sometimes when I take a deep breath. Ongoing for about a month now. No fever but I get hot if I cough alot.

Thanks for your quetion on HCM.
In my opinion you need to consult pulmonologist first.
As I think you are having bronchitis.
Bronchitis needs chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis.
So consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT.
If both are normal than no need to worry much. As it will be mostly upper respiratory tract infection.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
