Pl consult pulmonologist with detailed history and reports and treatment taken for better evaluation and treatment. Repeated xrays are not good.

get a proper consult with a pulmonologist if you have persistent breathlessness..there can be plenty of reasons..not all need any hifi tests..a simple history can rule out most of the differentials
