Hello, spirometry is a test which helps to detect asthma. The discomfort could be due to GERD, (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach come up into the esophagus. You can try try lifestyle measures. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed. Keep a food diary and note down what aggravates your symptoms and avoid them. Ensure to maintain optimum weight by regular exercise. Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications NSAIDs, quit smoking, eliminate alcohol and reduce stress levels. These measures need to be practiced long term for results. Hope this helps!!

Hi, was spirometry done? are you continuing to use inhalers? your persisting symptoms of breathlessness and chest tightness could be due to asthma. Your symptoms may not be due to the low vitamin D levels. You will need to take your inhalers regularly. And consult your doctor for your persisting symptoms, he may do lung function tests and based on the results he may change/add medications. Take Care.
