Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Hi there, 32 yr old male, gave up smoking 18 months ago after 15 a day for ~10 years. Am really struggling with health anxiety and after coughing up white/clear mucus for the last year since giving up I decided to seek a PFT. Do get some SOB after exertion. A leading pulmonologist interpreted my results and ‘guaranteed’ I don’t have COPD, maybe asthma/rhinitis. However my results seem to strongly indicate chronic bronchitis. Can anyone help? At a total loss of what to do as I feel I’ve exhausted my options with GPS and private referrals. My family is also really struggling with my failure to trust the experts
