Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, Scar on x ray can not cause difficulty in taking deep breath.
Since your lungs are clear, blood reports are normal, x ray is also normal, so no need to worry for lung diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause difficulty in taking deep breath.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Divert your mind from this.
Do yoga and pranayam.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
