Squeezing At The Bottom Of Right Lung That Lasts While Bringing In Air

I've been having a problem with a squeezing at the bottom of my right lung and works its way up until I can't bring air in. It lasts for about 2 minutes and then goes away. Some times it happens once every few days and other times it happens several times a day/night. My doctor says that it isn't anything. I've had pneumonia 3 within a year and it feels like I might have it again. Should I be concerned about this?

Hi,
The squeezing sensation at the bottom of lungs while inhalation indicates possibility of respiratory problem of / anemia/allergic/infective origin.
Yes, looking at past history of pneumonia thrice in a year, you need to be careful about the symptoms.
You need investigations like blood counts (CBC), X ray chest after consulting a chest physician.This will point out the causative factor & treatment plan.
Thanks.
