I'm really concerned about my recent chest X-ray results which show that both hilar and lung markings are increased. Also, I've been having a fever fluctuating between 99-100 degrees for the last 15 days. No other symptoms have shown up yet. What could this mean? Should I be worried about anything serious?

I've just started running, and I'm having some trouble with a thick cough that's building up in my throat, making it hard to breathe. It's this thick white stuff, and I'm a bit concerned since it's only been two days of running. Is this something normal? Could it be related to quitting smoking three months ago? Would love to hear your thoughts.

it might be because of your smoking habits. try working out and start steam inhalation

I'm really struggling with breathing properly because it feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air and my nose is almost always blocked. This has been going on for a few months now. Sometimes I get chest congestion too. It's affecting my sleep a lot since I wake up with a heavy head and I feel sleepy and drowsy the whole day. Could you suggest what might be going on?
