I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

I recently got a chest x-ray for a job, and the results mentioned something about increased right basal marking pneumonitis, non-specific. Ive had asthma since I was a kid, and now I'm worried if these results are connected to that. Could I be developing pneumonitis, and what steps should I take next? I'd really appreciate some guidance.
