Hello, I Had Serveral Sius Infections This Year , Then

Hello, I had serveral sius infections this year , then a sunden onset of not being able to breath.
found after chest xrays i had a small amount of fluid in lower left lungs . Placed on steroids and antibiotics and inhalers, after a month I was put on Advai and Singlar. I was given a ct scan and
another chest xray. xray came back good, CT scam came back with a deviated septum and a cyst.
I was given one more course of a different antibiotic and two weeks worth of steroids.
Nothing changed with my feeling of not being able to get air , the tightnees in the chest along with the nasal congestion and running down my throat and a cough to clear my upper throat, even though I passed the breathing test and my levels are at 93 to 97 percent oxygen. I have good days and bad days. I was sent to a ENT Dr and he wants to do another CT scan since I was on meds for the last one. I have been having acupucture and some herbs perscribe and have found that the xanax seems to help me breath and I'm fine. My skin has also changed and is thining and dry along with my hair dry course and breaking off. This has been gonig on since Aug 6. With the high cost of medical, I'm just not sure which direction to take next. I don't like the Idea of all the scans but with that said I want to get well.
Thank you.
I would rather not have another CT scan and I'm not sure where to go from here. Is this just that I have made my self so concussion of my breathing that I'm over breathing and having pantic attacks?
