Hi welcome to HCM. I understand your query and concern. Palpitations and dry cough indicates arrhythmias of heart.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a daily is useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics,syrup.Tusk D will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.Electrophysiological study with or without Radiofrequency ablation is the procedure of choice in your case.You may also need Coronary angiogram to look for any co existent blocks in the heart. Consult a Cardiologist and discuss for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
