Please help with my Lungs

2 pulmonologists at 2 different hospitals have told me that my lungs are fine. Is there anything that they could have missed? I had x-rays done, stethoscopes applied to my chest and back, EKG wires attatched, and I even had a CT angiogram done before in the ER, which I 90% trust (towards the end of the examination I had a very severe reaction to the iodine contrast). Is there anything else that they can check? They say my lungs are fine. Where could they have gone wrong, if they did?
I do struggle to hold a breath, and I'm horrible in keeping a deep breath for a long period of time. 8 months ago I was able to do both with no problem. My main pain started at an area on my right-side rib. I have seen all of the other doctors, so I want to focus on the lungs in case something was missed. I am 24, don't smoke or drink, and I'm not even close to overweight. Thank You for any help.

Nice to see you here again :)
Hmmm ... does sound like something is going on .
When you explained this to the doctors what did they say/suggest ?
Let's see if others might have any ideas or suggestions :)

I have no idea what to suggest.
I would recommend going back to your primary care physician
And letting them know that you are still very uncomfortable
And ask what additional testing they could recommend.
I know that some medications can cause similar symptoms,
Have you changed / started anything new ?

Have they done the test that measures your exhalation? Spirometer I think it is?
