Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a lung disorder. For this reason, I would recommend performing a chest X-ray study and pulmonary function tests. Acid reflux can also influence in all this clinical situation. For this reason, I would recommend taking an antiacid or PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole) and see if it helps improve you situation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
