On going tight chest

Hi. Long post alert, very sorry! So, I'm 35, x smoker (2 years quit), I was running 25 miles a week, quite fit really. But... end of January I developed very sudden breathlessness for no apparent reason. This stayed for around 4 or 5 days then went of its own accord. Started running again with no ill effects. A month after the initial breathlessness and boom! It's back with a vengeance! After a course of anti biotics, 3 courses of prednisolone, 2 clear chest x rays, and 3 normal blood tests, and nearly 6 weeks later, I still have a tight chest! Not as bad by a long shot, but it's still tight! Hospital suspect asthma, gp thinks virus. I had a swab done at the hospital and coronavirus hku1 was detected, although no one seems to know the significanceof this. Any ideas?! Help!

What does Spirometry show? Particularly reversibility Spirometry should indicate asthma or not. Also a PFT, a more detailed lung function test, should help to diagnose any problems. X-rays do not necessarily show lung problems.

Not much help, sorry, but go back to your GP. Virus? Hmmm....

All the best

Yes a lung function test isn't what's needed really. Maybe an ECG too?
