What Could Cough With Brown Phlegm, Breathing Difficulty Indicate, Lung Tests Normal?

I had whooping cough Oct 2013 followed by pleurisy Nov 2013. I ve had ongoing cough, difficulty breathing. Recently developed infection and coughing up brown phlegm- on 2nd lot of antibiotics and still have irritating cough. Have had chest X-rays, CT scan and 4 weeks of Prednisolone and still don t feel well. Lung function tests are normal. Am seeing respiratory specialist but waiting weeks between apps. Have just developed pain between shoulder blades. Dr away with next appt in May. I d be interested in yr thoughts.
