I've been dealing with a blocked nose that suddenly turned runny, but what's really worrying me is this constant need to yawn or take deep breaths. This started just yesterday. I'm 19 years old and weigh 95 kgs. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing this breathing issue?

Question

I've been smoking for the past 4 years, but now I've started feeling really lazy and it's causing other issues too. I'm really looking to quit. Could you please give me some advice on how to stop smoking and maybe help with these problems?

Question

I've quit smoking recently and I've noticed something a bit concerning. My mucus has these black strings and some faded red color in it. I'm just wondering, is this normal after stopping smoking? Should I be worried?

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?
