I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

I've just had a chest X-ray, and while most of it looks good, there's this one finding that says "tenting of the left diaphragm grade 1.1." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about health-wise? Could there be a link to my heart or any other reasons for this? What kind of symptoms should I keep an eye out for?
