I'm having some trouble with a bad cough since yesterday, and now I'm experiencing more chest pain. Today, it's even getting hard to breathe, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe. My sputum has turned yellowish-green, and I'm breathing rapidly. It's really uncomfortable, and I've never had any history of asthma before. Could this be asthma or just an allergic reaction? What should I do? Please help me figure this out.

I'm having trouble breathing and can't seem to get air through my nose for a while now, so I've been breathing through my mouth instead. But lately, even that's becoming tough and I feel like I have to take big breaths just to get enough oxygen. What's going on with this?

I'm looking at my X-ray report, and I'm pretty concerned. It mentions that the right hilar vascular marking is prominent, and for the cardiac area, it's not clear if it's normal or not. Plus, the CP angles are hazy. I'm really wondering if these findings are normal or if there's something I should be worried about health-wise. Could you help me understand what's going on?
