Hello,
We have to rule out conditions like asthma and obstructive airway diseases. Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation including a chest X-ray and a CT scan is required to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
