What tests might I need?????

Hi guys,
I wonder if you can give me any suggestions:
4 weeks ago I had a very bad chest cold - my asthma was awful.
I'm better now after taking antibiotics....
Anyways, since the chest cold I've had on and off lung ache/
and on and off chest tightness. I'm wondering if it's acid
reflux now. I went to the doctor last week. He says I have
inflammation in my chest walls from the cold I had. He gave
me EKG just in case.....the heart is fine. I also had a chest
X-ray last week - didn't get results yet. I guess it's ok, he
didn't call me. He gave me Naproxen 500 for the lung ache.
Anyway, I've been taking Mylanta Mint flavor but
I still feel the same. What do you think I have and what other
tests should I get??? If this lung ache/chest soreness doesn't
go away by next Monday, I'm going back to my doctor. Thank you
very much for any information you could give me. Laura/NJ
