Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management, as your symptoms persist despite treatment and normal heart tests; the CT scan findings suggest possible pulmonary fibrosis or scarring, which may be causing your chest tightness and shortness of breath; the pulmonologist can assess your condition, potentially ordering additional tests like pulmonary function tests (PFTs) or bronchoscopy, and develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms.
