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've been experiencing a lot of pain in my left chest, and it's making it a bit difficult for me to breathe. I already had an X-ray, but it came back clear, and a sputum test didn't show anything either. A chest specialist mentioned it could be muscular, but I'm worried because it's affecting my breathing and making me feel very tired. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

That could be muscle catch no need to worry take adequate rest and follow your doctor advice,you will be fine
