Hi and welcome in HCM.
I can understand your problem
I would first recommend to you to do a normal cardiac and lung check up with the tests as follows :
EKG
Cardiac ultrasound
Chest X Ray
Spirometry test
Blood count
After having the results the relevant specialist (cardiologist or pulmonologist ) will give you the right treatment.
I advice you to do some rest.
Take care
Thank you
