Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , you mentioned that you were having breathlessness and suffocation .
All tests are normal .
Still you are using lowplat, disprin monis , lisinopril anti diabetic drugs .
So many medicines and diabetic only than , why anti hypertensive drugs and also anticoagulants .
Dysponea ( suffocation ) may be due to many reasons , but please mention the report of PaO2, Pa Co2.
Sometimes elevation of Pco2 develops very dangerous suffocation.
Consult one more pulmonologist and get his opinion.
Alternatively you can upload all reports over this site.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
