Exam!: The symptoms you describe are indicative of a possible pulmonary infection or other pulmonary disorder. I therefor suggest a medical exam at a clinic as soon as possible at which time a chest X-ray may be ordered. The sooner you are properly diagnosed & treated the better. I wish you well with your health!
