Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concerns very well.
Your symptoms suggest that either your symptoms are either because of cardiac involvement or may be because of excess weight ( if you are overweight )
Blood tests of heart don't reveal the status of heart.
You need to consult a cardiologist and get a echocardiogram and TMT test done to know the exact situation.
Inhalers won't help if your lungs are normal ( MRI lungs is normal )
Excess of alcohol intake is bad as it damages heart,it doesn't let you control your sugar levels,it causes gastritis and heart burns and may give a feeling of swelling in stomach and also it won't let you loose weight.
You must cut down your alcohol.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Ok, but where does the pressure in my ears come from? The partial deafness after sparring? And can I delete liquid in my lungs or collapse lung?

Your symptoms could be because of high blood pressure and some deranged cardiac functions.As far as lungs are concerned,they are normal since MRI lungs doesn't reveal
any abnormality.
