I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

I've been having these episodes of shortness of breath since 2008. It first happened when I was exercising, and I just couldn't catch my breath out of nowhere. Since then, these episodes come and go, lasting for a few days before disappearing on their own. I'm a smoker, and when I got tested, the doctor said I've got mild asthma, but I'm not so sure about that diagnosis since I dont really have other asthma symptoms like wheezing. Does this sound like asthma to you, or could it be something else?
stop smoking and do chest x ray
