Medicines For Acid Reflux Not Helping Breathing Problem. Am I Having Bronchitis Which Is Not Showing In Lung Function Test?

I have had breathing issues for 9 years. Doctors keep telling me that it s acid reflux, but I have taken all of the meds for it for years and it has only gotten worse. I recently had a psoriasis outbreak on my eyelid and then my breathing issues got so much worse. My lung function tests are always fine. Could I have bronchiectasis without it showing on lung function tests or xrays?
