I'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about two months now. My blood report came back normal, but my chest X-ray showed a white circle near my heart. Could you help me understand what this might be?

I'm noticing a slight whistling sound when I breathe through my mouth, and it feels like something's clogged. It's been lingering for a while now. I used to be a smoker but quit quite some time ago. I'm also pretty active when it comes to fitness, but this breathing issue is bothering me. Who should I reach out to for help with this? Any suggestions?

My mom's been coughing pretty badly for the last 3 weeks, and she also noticed some blood when she coughs. Her X-ray showed slightly prominent upper broncho vascular markings in both lungs, and her cardio thoracic ratio is a bit high. She's also been getting fevers and having trouble breathing. I'm really worriedcould these be signs of tuberculosis? Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Given your mother's symptoms of a persistent cough, blood in the cough, fever, and breathing issues, along with the X-ray findings of prominent broncho-vascular markings and a mildly raised cardio-thoracic ratio, these could be concerning for a respiratory condition such as tuberculosis (TB) or other lung infections. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation, including sputum tests and possibly a CT scan, to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment.
