I'm a 33-year-old guy and I've been dealing with a cough for the past 20 days. Along with the cough, I'm noticing yellow-light green mucus. I've been using whey protein for about a month since I started working out at the gym, and I'm wondering if it might be the reason for my issues. I stopped using it three days ago, but the cough hasn't gone away. I also used to eat raw spinach and broccoli but I've quit those too. My cough tends to worsen when I'm lying down to sleep, and it feels like my chest really fills up with mucus, especially early in the morning. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allMy mom's been dealing with respiratory issues for the last 57 years and she was diagnosed with COPD, so shes been on treatment. She still uses an inhaler with a capsule whenever she feels breathless. Now, she wants to visit the chardham, specifically Badrinath and Kedarnath. Given the high altitude and extreme weather, I'm worried about how she'd cope. Do you think its safe for her to go on this trip?
its not advisory, but if want to go compulsorily, test her pulmonary function test and be ready for any emergencies

I'm having some trouble with my breathing latelyit feels like deep breaths are kinda stressing me out. And it gets worse when I'm in an air-conditioned space; it feels like I'm suffocating after just a few minutes. Do you have any idea what might be going on or any suggestions for what I should do?
That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
