Hello, I hope this still reaches you. How are you now? I am miserable now in same situation as your post. I cannot find out why. Some differences tho. I have a wheeze but they say they can’t hear with stethoscope but you can hear with normal ear. I have a borderline mild obstruction from PFT. I had a lung tumor removed in April but this is secondary. All other tests are normal. I’m defeated and depressed. Nothing has made this go away. I also feel like
I get worse air breathing from
My mouth. So stressful. Hope you are well

any surgery and anesthesia can result in depression too..... r u on an antidepressant (i take 2)? do u check ur pulse ox throughout the day? that can be reassuring OR reaffirming, that there is a reason for how u r feeling..... I also have asthma (only use nebulizer when having problems) and have had intermittent chest xrays showing atelectasis (since 2016)! no one ever told me! I also have Gerd and have been taking prilosec for years. even tho I'm a retired nurse, why can't I just be a patient and have the dr figure things out??? I feel ur frustration. hang in there, u r not alone!!!
