I've been feeling like there's air getting trapped in my chest. It's similar to when you have to cough to clear out mucus, but this is deeper in my chest. I'm really worried it might be thoracic pneumothorax. What do you think I should do?

I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?
