Hi, thanks for posting the concern in Chat Doctor. My understanding is if you have Chat Doctor.  X-ray chest will also be normal in this case. Some other causes should be excluded, e.g. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease, esophageal diverticula etc. You may need clinical examination by a local pulmonologist and further investigations to find out the underlying cause. The following tests may be needed-Complete blood count, CRP, urea, creatinine, electrolytes Pulmonary function test Serum IG E. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and steroids. For the time being my recommendations are -Good oral HY
