Question

I'm curious about my breathing patterns. When I'm just relaxing, like sitting or lying down, I find myself doing a bit of deep breathing. Does that sound normal to you? But then, when I start walking, my breaths get shallower and quicker. So, my inhale and exhale times become pretty short. Is that something to be worried about or is it completely normal? I'm really unsure about this and would appreciate your guidance.

Question

I've been dealing with this cough and some phlegm in my throat, but oddly, there's no fever or cold symptoms along with it. It's just the cough thats bugging me, even after one round of antibiotics. I dont cough all the time, but I can definitely feel that there's phlegm there. What's going on here? Should I be concerned or doing something different?
