and I hate it when people do this to me. I've had bronchietasis since age 18 and am currently trying to recover from empyema, so I've got the creds. Please forgive me.

If your new pulmonologist isn't able to help you, consider seeing a cardiologist. Much of my inability to breathe now is due to my heart's failure to get enough O2 to my pulmonary artery. My blood O2 can be at 95, and I can't breathe.
