View allI'm experiencing some shortness of breath, and even though my ECG, blood pressure, and lung tests all came back normal, I'm still worried. Could there be an issue that's not showing up in these reports? What could be causing this problem?

I'm a bit confused about the differences between asthma and COPD. They both seem similar with the breathing issues, so how can I tell them apart? Also, someone mentioned that having COPD could complicate things if you need surgery. Should I be worried about any specific problems if someone with COPD has to undergo surgery?
Asthma is seen in childhood, whereas COPD is seen i adults above 40 years of age.Asthma is triggered by allergens like pollen or dust , whereas copd is due to smoking.Asthma airway obstruction is reversible whereas COPD obstruction is irreversible Asthma is treated by inflammation and copd is treated with bronchodilators. A diagnostic spirometry differntiates betweeen asthma and copd.

I'm a 22-year-old guy, and I've been smoking for the past year. I've had this chest pain for about 8 months now. I went to a cardiologist, and my cholesterol was high. He told me to lower it, which I did in a month, but the chest pain is still there. I went through ECG, echo, TMT, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. The cardiologist said my heart's fine, but I still feel this pain. It's worse when I bend forward or take a deep breath, and its around the center and left side of my chest. I'm not sure what to do next. Should I be considering a chest CT scan? The cardiologist told me to just ignore the pain and said its not heart-related. I already quit smoking and changed my diet, but the pain hasn't gone away. What should my next step be?
do CT scan and review
