Routine lungs test

Hello! I am planning to get some tests done for lungs. Apart from X-ray, should I go for just PFT or Spirometry as well? This will be a routine checkup. I do get shortness of breath from time to time. Thanks

Query for Second Opinion

​Dec 2025–May 2026: Started with a long-lasting dry cough. All tests were completely normal: Chest X-ray, PFT (breathing test), FeNO (airway swelling test), and IgE (allergy blood test). ​June 5, 2026: Due to the ongoing cough and normal tests, the doctor gave a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma and prescribed a Foracort 400 rotahaler twice daily. After June 5: Developed new, severe breathlessness and air hunger. This included a scary episode of sudden breathing struggle while sitting in my living room directly under the AC vent with the front door open. ​• Inhaler Response: Mixed. Sometimes Foracort significantly helps open my chest; other times it goes on its own ​• My Query: I am seeking a second opinion to confirm if this provisional diagnosis is correct, why my breathlessness started after June 5, and why the inhaler works only sometimes magically n sometimes slowly.
