I'm 55 and I've been having more and more of a cough lately, especially when I'm on the phone or talking to others. I've tried using cough syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and gargling with salt water, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What should I do next?

View allI'm trying to understand my recent chest X-ray results a bit better. It mentioned that my bilateral lung fields show prominent broncho vascular markings, both hila are likely vascular and prominent, and there's a blunted right CP angle due to pleural effusion or pleural thickening. Should I be worried about these findings? What do these terms really mean for my lung health?
blunted cp angle means theres is fluid collection in her pleura

I'm feeling this deep and incomplete breathing at random times during the day, and then I get shortness of breath when exercising. A few months back, I was even coughing up blood for about 34 days, and had something similar happen a year ago. On top of that, I'm having these gastro issues like thick and sticky mucus in my stool every 10 to 20 days. I've lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 79 kg over the past 3 years, and I feel like my growth has stopped. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?
do a chest xray and rule out tuberculosis
