Welcome at HCM...
I am DR SAAD SULTAN and will be answering your query.
I have gone through your query and being your physician i totally understands your health concerns.
what is your age and sex? for how long you are suffering from it? do you smoke cigarette?
In my opinion there is need to get the pulmonary function tests so that exact status of your lungs can be appreciated. there is also need to get the chest x ray along with the full blood count and ESR. it may be asthma bronchitis.
Meanwhile stay calm and meet PULMONOLOGIST.
Hope your query is adequately addressed , if you still have any feel free to ask anytime.
