I'm really worried because I've been coughing for two weeks now, and it's getting to the point where sometimes when I cough really hard, it completely blocks my throat and I can't breathe. It's scary, and on top of that, I've actually thrown up what I've just eaten a few times. I already saw a general doctor, but the meds they gave me aren't doing anything. Can you tell me which specialist I should talk to about this?

I'm a bit confused about my chest x-ray results. It mentions "suspicious infiltrates in the right apex" and suggests considering pneumonia. Does that mean I might have pneumonia, even though I don't feel any breathing issues or chest pain, and haven't had a cold or flu?
A chest X-ray showing suspicious infiltrates in the right apex could suggest pneumonia, but it doesn't confirm the diagnosis on its own. Since you're not experiencing symptoms like breathing difficulties, chest pain, or a cold, it might be worth discussing the results further with your doctor to evaluate whether further tests or monitoring are needed.
