Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT ( pulmonary function test ) to rule out asthma.
Because night time continuous coughing, even with drugs, is more suggestive of asthma.
So get done PFT for the diagnosis of asthma.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only.
So get done PFT.
So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
