I'm hearing this weird noise when I breathe in and out, and it seems to be coming from my lower lungs under the ribcage. A couple of days ago, it was more at the back, but now it's shifted to right under the ribcage in front. Should I be concerned about this, or is it common?

View allI've been smoking for almost 15 years but quit recently because I've been dealing with frequent coughs and colds. I'm worried about what damage smoking might have done to my lungs. Are there specific tests I should get done to check on the health of my lungs? Could you also tell me if there's a way to help them recover from the damage? And I'm curious, does a chest X-ray actually show the damage clearly?
Ecg ,spirometry,lung function tests (PFT)and x-ray chest is advised to the patient. Smoking cessation and aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis for a while now, and I'm taking Ab Phylline SR 200 and Symbicort. I just got my blood test results back, and my ESR is at 24, which seems a bit high, and my lymphocytes are at 43.8, above the usual limit. Is this something I should be concerned about in relation to my allergy issues? Could these levels be contributing to my symptoms?
Continue symbicort inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.Rest continue all the medications.

I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?
probably you might have high cough or increased sputum ,to rule out some respiratory causes they would have taken CT scan
