What Causes Chronic Wheezing While Inhaling And Popping While Exhaling?

I was diagnosed with pneumonia a couple months ago. And was treated for it. Had a cat scan of chest a month later and it showed normal. However I continue to have chronic wheezing when inhaling and popping or crackling noises in my chest upon exhaling..... I don t necessarily feel bad or run a fever. But cannot get rid of those symptoms...... Pulmonologist doesn t seem that concerned about it..... But feel like there s something going on....,what should I do?

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Wheezing is a sign of obstructive lung diseases and if the CT chest is normal then it may be an asthma. It will be preferable to do a PFT and then see a Pulmonologist.
You can always take a second opinion from an another pulmonologist. It is your right.
