Brief Answer:
Get done PFT first.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern..
In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out other lung related causes.
PFT will tell you about severity of the disease.
According to the severity, you may need additional bronchodilators.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
