Trouble breathing for 8 months.

Hello

I used to smoke for 4 years and then I stopped completely. 3 months after I stopped smoking I had a normal flu that went away in a couple of days. I noticed after the flu had went away I started having trouble breathing normally, oxygen levels are very normal but the feeling of not being able to take a full breath is still there and has been going for more than six months now. Sometimes breathing goes back to normal for a couple of days before the shortness of breath comes back again. I notice it when I wake up most of the time.
I visited two pulmonologists during these 6 months and they both did everything that could be done to rule out lung and heart problems like x-rays, blood tests, asthma tests, etc. They both told me that everything is ok. So what could it be? I thought of Acid reflux because I regularly get heartburns, took Pantozol 40 mg for 2 weeks and this didn't seem to help. Could it be Sinusitis?

any ideas?
Thank you

I had been hospitalized for 3 years in a row all in the same month march, for shortness of breath. They thought it was asthma. The last time which was this year, they hospitalized me for a week. Which they ran lots of test and determined I have COPD. The symptoms I had were shortness of breath, tired, and coughing. Oxygen doesn't seem to help, medication wasn’t helping too (Spiriva and Advair plus nose sprays).although my doctor was wanted me to use it, to reduce symptoms and slow down progression but I could not tolerate them for long due to severe side effects. I decided to adopt a more natural approach and started on COPD Herbal formula from Green House Herbal Clinic, the COPD natural formula immensely helped my condition, i had a total recovery from COPD with this natural herbal formula treatment. Green House Herbal Clinic official web site ww w. greenhouseherbalclinic. com. I feel alive again! The coughing, tiredness, shortness of breath and other symptoms has subsided.  I am very pleased with this treatment. sometimes i totally forget i ever had COPD,Don't give up hope, My family are amazed at the change and rapid recovery from COPD. Needless to mention I haven't smoked since the procedure and I enjoy walking the dog for my daily exercise

My story is exactly like yours. But I did find out I have moderate COPD. Not so good. Good luck.

did the COPD show up immediately when the tests were done? or did it take a while before you figured it out?
