Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, we try to answer general questions from consumers about health but cannot diagnose or recommend treatment. You appear to have some very specific questions which can only be answered properly by a physician who is familiar with her medical history, physical exam, and test results. Often, a physician specializing in pulmonary medicine can assist with these types of questions.Best wishes.
