Breathing issues but all tests ok
I have been having continuous breathing problems for 1 year now. Unable to fill lungs with air with satisfaction. Takes a few tries to do so. No extra breathing problems due to any physical activity. I can light jog 5km on treadmill with no extra problems.
I have chronic Acidity and acid reflux which is controlled by medication.
Also consistent cough with dry mucus, increases decreases sometimes.
I have done chest xray, ct scan, pft, blood tests, ecg, 2d echo, upper gi endoscopy and all reports are normal.
2 Pulmonologists have ruled out allergy issues.
What could be the problem?
