Work up needed: Many possibilities from chronic bronchitis to pneumonitis, reflux induced cough and many others. Fatigue is always of concern as more serious conditions may contribute. You need a follow up with imaging in order to get a firm diagnosis and have it addressed accordingly.

Pulmonology: You may have COPD or COPD -Asthma, and a visit with a Pulmonologist may help to determine the next step in treatment. PFTS and an imaging study may be indicated. Your whistle may actually be wheezing which can be treated with an inhaler. Cessation of smoking programs are available at many medical centers.
