I'm noticing this unusual sound coming from my left lung when I breathe deeply, and it makes my left side vibrate. It goes away after I cough, but I'm still concerned. I've had three X-rays and those came back normal. I also did spirometry, and that was normal too. I'm a smoker, and my recent hemoglobin level was 17.90, RBS was 5.81, and PCV was 51.80. Is this something I should be worried about? Am I okay?

View allI've had this stubborn dry cough for about 15 days now. It all started with a cold and cough, and I took some antibiotics and chest cold tablets for a few days back then. The cold cleared up, but this cough just won't go away. It's mostly at night before I sleep, but somehow it doesn't bother me when I'm actually asleep. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and sometimes I feel like my heart's racing. I even get these shivering vibrations in my upper body and hands. I already spoke to a general physician and got a bunch of medications like montelukast sodium, levocetirizine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone, and cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate. I'm on my second day of this prescription, and then I read online that some of these are for asthma. Really curious and a bit worried about what this could be, and if it's got to do with my lungs or heart. Any advice on what's going on and how to find out more?
Patient is advised sputum for AFB and microscopy, chest x-ray pa view .
