I'm feeling uneasy with my breathing and I'm also pretty tired. I got tested for COVID but it came back negative. I don't have a cold or a cough, and I've taken azithromycin for three days. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm feeling these weird bubbling sensations on the left side of my lung and sometimes on the lower right side too. I've been worrying since I used to smoke for about 4 years, but I've quit now. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

I'm wondering if I might have bronchitis. Can you tell me what kind of tests I should do to find out for sure? I'd like to be certain about my condition before starting any treatment. What would you recommend to diagnose bronchitis?

A chest x-ray and lung function tests is advised to the patient.

I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having asthma. I'm 30 and just got some tests done - like the x-ray and CT pulmonary angiogram - and they both came back normal. I also did a Spirometry test, and my FVC and FeV1 values were above 110, which should be a good sign, right? The doc mentioned I have a mild wheezing sound now and then, but not always. I even did a six-minute walking test with jogging, and my spo2 levels before and after were 99 and 98. I usually climb four floors, do brisk walking, jogging, and some skipping exercises without feeling breathless, although sometimes I think I might get breathless, but it never really happens. Should I be worried about asthma, or could it be something else?
