Get done chest x ray and PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).

1. Which medicines you have taken?
2. Have you undergone any of the above mentioned reports?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
