That's understandable. I lament over some questionable things I've done in the past.
I would think you are probably just fine and might have a small amount of lowered lung function but probably nothing severe. A pulmonary function test might be something you would like to ask about. It would give you of alot of parameters of lung function. X rays and scans will let you know the condition of resp. structures and, to some degree, lung expansion.
If nothing else, it would be good to get a good "look see" to ease your mind. I think it would be good to talk with you pulmonologist about your concerns and see what they have for recommendations.
I would like to know how things go for you if you would be willing to give me an update.
Best,
Glydin
