Still waiting for our first reply to this comment.
It has been years since I've been to the doctor. I pretty much have given up. They have taken xrays, but have never seen anything. Mostly because it always seems that my symptoms aren't as bad by the time I can actually get in to see someone. All of my PFT'S have come back great. I have always complained that I think it's my diaphragm, but not one doctor has ever shown concerns. My biggest problem is getting in to someone when my symptoms have peaked. I usually have to wait several weeks to get into my primary physician and by then there is no guarantee I'll be symptomatic. That is why they treat me like it's psychological. My best description for them is that I feel like a pregnant woman with the baby high up in my belly and won't move to let my lungs expand fully.
