Question

I'm really concerned because I'm feeling some pain in my lungs. I recently had a chest X-ray, and it came back normal, but I still have a cough with mucus. Could this be pneumonia?

Question

I'm a bit concerned and curious about the recent chest X-ray report for a loved one who had COVID-19 about a month ago. It mentions bilateral scanty infiltrations of mixed nature with some irregular breakdowns, gross bronchial catarrh, and prominent bronchovascular markings. It also says the hilar shadow is heavy, the heart shadow is normal, and the left costophrenic angle is slightly blurred. Should I be worried about these findings, or is this normal as someone recovers from COVID-19?

I've been having issues with heavy breathing when I'm running or using the stairs lately, and Im starting to get worried. I'm a smoker and have been smoking on and offsmoked for two years, took a break for a year, and then picked it up again about three months ago. Could my smoking be causing these breathing problems? What can I do to improve this situation?
