I would highly recommend you see a Lung Specialist (Pulmonologist) soon. You need someone to determine what is going on and help to reverse the state of your lungs as much as possible and also to prescribe preventative therapy. If you are or have been a smoker there will be a very different approach. Seeing a specialist should be considered a priority as your next step.
