I'm noticing a slight whistling sound when I breathe through my mouth, and it feels like something's clogged. It's been lingering for a while now. I used to be a smoker but quit quite some time ago. I'm also pretty active when it comes to fitness, but this breathing issue is bothering me. Who should I reach out to for help with this? Any suggestions?
