My lungs are chronincally sore/heavy/ill, what can it be!?!? if it's not exactly asthma?

Question

I had a pulmonary function test done before, and I had xrays done before and even a CT scan: ALL NORMAL.

NOrmal!! Yet, sometimes my lungs get very compromised, it's difficult for me to breathe, they get sore, and heavy, and my oxygen levels even dropped down to 90! 90! How can someone get all of those symtpoms when their tests came back as normal?

I take my asthma meds alot, but alot of times they don't even seem to work.

SO my guess is, something other than slight/moderate asthma is going on here in my chest, and I don't know what it is.

If the tests can't find anything,

what can it be!??!

Can it just be that my lungs are at a weak state from years of dealing with bad infections, and they just can't recooperate?

Can that be possible?

How can I nurse my lungs back to good health?

Answer 1

i have recently been diagnosed with COPD and i know exactly how you feel.  Have they ever put you on a nebulizer for breathing treatments?  They help me a lot.
