I have been sick for 19 wks. It started out as bronchites and now it's turned into another problem. I'm short on breath at times and I get really sore in my chest area and there is an hidden cough, the pain is really bad & I can't have very much activity.I went to the hospital and had an EKG and a chest exam and these came out fine. I saw a specialist and took a breathing test, it showed that I'm not using all of my lungs. The doctor said that I needed a PFT. I don't have the money to pay for the test right now. Any suggestions?

Are you a student at a university? If so then maybe via your college rx they can help you or at your local hospital you can sign up for charity care!
Best bet would be call social services because they have all the info on grants and "free" money and paper work and stuff and I will pray for you!

Go to or call the hosp, some hospitals have a "dial a nurse" that could at least get you going to the right place
There's a fine line difference between asthma, bronchitis and copd

I think that you may have asthma but go to the doctor to be sure about that.
