Pulmonologist - fungal experience?

My husband has had a chronic lung problem for years and it worsens with humidity. When the air becomes saturated, he becomes exhausted and can't breathe well. He's also sensitive to Sulphur dioxide. Any MD's with pulmonary experience dealt with something like this? Chest xrays generally normal. Possible CT nodule very small and doc not interested in following up on it. Allergy scratch test negative, tried inhalers and a few Rx lung meds. Most doctors brush this off as not being real because it doesn't fit in standard diagnosis and aren't willing to look deeper. Has become debilitating for him. - Sruna
