Question

I've been dealing with a cold for the past three days, but now it seems like I have chest congestion that's making it really hard to breathe, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

I'm really confused and a bit worried. My chest X-ray is normal, but I'm still coughing up dark red blood. Sometimes it's less, and the blood is mixed with a yellowish color. I haven't had any chest pain or heart issues before. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
