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?

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?
