FENO value 34 and HARDNESS in breathing

I have had this hard and tightness in breathing for more than six months. My PFT is fine but FENO is 34. I've been using symbicoart 160 for the last 2 Months. The improvement is very minimal. It really makes me uncomfortable. It always feels like I have a life-threatening issue and my confidence level is becoming very low.
