I've been noticing a hissing sound when I inhale, and honestly, it's been happening on and off for about 15 years now. Lately though, like for the last 6 months, it's been popping up way more, like every few days. It's especially noticeable in cooler weather or if I'm around dust, sneezing, laughing really hard, or even when I'm climbing up hills or stairs like to the third floor. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this?

I'm a bit worried about my health right now. Back in August 2020, I had an HRCT chest scan to check for COVID, and although it wasn't COVID, they found bilateral minimal pleural effusion and mentioned something about an infective cause. Now I'm planning to get a single-view chest X-ray following COVID to see if anything has changed. I'm unsure if this kind of X-ray is enough to show bilateral pleural effusion if it's still there. Do you think a different type of X-ray is necessary, or will this single view be sufficient?
chest xray will show pleural effusion.
