A chest X-ray is a good test to diagnose pneumonia. However, it cannot identify most breathing problems by itself. For some people with breathing problems, a CT scan of the chest is needed. This scan looks for any problems in the lungs. A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to create detailed images. If you suffer with chronic sinusitis, your doctor may order a special sinus CT scan. This scan will be used to evaluate your sinuses.
The only way to make sure alcohol isnât making your breathing more difficult is to avoid it entirely. Although alcohol may not have caused problems for you in the past, thereâs still a chance that it may do so in the future. If you do drink alcohol, pay close attention to your breathing and take note of any changes. Whenever you are drinking alcohol or doing any activity that makes your breathing more difficult, carry your inhaler with you and seek medical attention immediately if you arenât able to catch your breath.
