I'm feeling like my chest and lungs are always tight, especially after jogging or even just walking, I don't feel any relief or openness. I usually just smoke 1 to 2 cigarettes a day and drink alcohol on Sundays, but this tight feeling in my lungs just doesn't go away. Could this be related to my smoking habits or maybe something else? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

Inhaler usage typically does not initiate sinus issues. In fact, inhalers are commonly used to treat conditions like asthma and COPD. If you have concerns about sinus issues, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 77 and has had this persistent cough for a few weeks now. He smoked for 40 years but quit back in 2017. However, he still chews tobacco. Could his history with smoking or his current use of tobacco be causing the cough, or is it something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?
