I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a persistent cough, although I do get some mucus when I do cough sometimes. I'm pretty worried about what's going on, and I'm wondering what a chest X-ray might reveal about my condition. Could you give me some advice or insights on what I should do next?

I'm worried because it feels like I'm not breathing well enough. I have to take a really deep breath every 10 seconds or so, and it's messing with my sleep. This has been going on for about 4 years now. I did see a pulmonologist and had a PFT test done, which came out fine, but I'm still having issues. I've tried different medications, including Deriphyllin, with no success. Any advice on what to do next?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
