Hello,
It may indicate pulmonary fibrosis.
For further assessment you may require computed tomography chest after chest physician consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Continue breathing exercises.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
