Hello,
Conditions like tuberculosis or other lung-related diseases must be excluded.
Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated. An X-ray chest is required as a preliminary investigation.
Additional tests like HRCT (high-resolution CT) may be required based on initial assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
