I think you have asthma as your severe coughing and breathlessness suggest.
Xray chest in asthma and blood tests both would be normal, However to confirm your asthma you need to get a spirometry test done.
Esr 110 can be a sign of inflammation but per se it doesnot suggest anything.
See a good pulmonologist and you should be on proper treatment
