Answers: It is the best to see a Pulmonary Specialist. I was misdiagnosed by my GP. He told me I have COPD so I chose to get a second view by a PS. The PS said it isn't COPD it's Asthma. Apparently Asthma and COPD look very similar within a chest x-ray. Listen to the Pulmonary doctor is the best advice I can offer you. Have you had any nice of Pulmonary Function Tests done? If not, the PS might request that to look at your air point. It's painless and well worth it. Good luck to you.
