Default Cat reverse sneezing -- HELP!

Hello all,
Thank you all for the help you've given in the past and I am turing to
you again.

Our cat, Gypsy, is a 9 year old female Bombay cat that all of a sudden
started sneezing and doing a wretching/gagging thing that the vet
calls reverse sneezing. The vet did blood work (including heartworm)
and all was OK, and an X-ray showed some hazy areas around her lungs.
The vet put her on an antibiotic and a transdurmal antibiotic and
sterioid. Nothing has helped. She's also sleeping more. We're going
for a second opinion, but until then, I'm turning to you.

Any ideas as to what could be going on? We didn't change anything
environmentally and this stuff came on all of a sudden. The vet did
mention the possibility of feline asthma, but we're still going for
another opinion. The cat doesn't seem to be bothered by the sneezing
(more of a "here we go again, OK, it's over") but it's worrying me.

Thanks for all your help

Paula
