I've been dealing with a cough for about 20-25 days, sometimes it's wet, sometimes dry. I even caught a cold twice during this time. Initially, it was just a mucusy cough, but now I've got this mild pain in my chest, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right too, and my chest feels heavy a lot. The mucus changes color, sometimes dark and thick, other times light and yellowish, but no blood. Most of the cold symptoms are gone now and the mucus has lessened. I smoked for about four years, around 3 to 4 cigarettes a day, but havent smoked in over two months since things got worse. There's no family history of similar issues, and I haven't had a fever. Could this just be a chest infection or is it something more serious? Please let me know what you think.

View allI've been having this really sharp pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, for about a month now. It used to just happen when I moved a certain way or turned over in bed, but recently it's been happening more randomly, sometimes on the right side or in the middle too. Breathing in can be painful sometimes as well. I've got allergic rhinitis and asthma, and my allergies have been acting up lately. I'm finding myself out of breath pretty often when doing even small things, and it's hard to breathe at night since my nose gets blocked and I can hear wheezing from my chest. Could this chest pain be linked to my asthma? I'm starting to worry, and would really appreciate some advice!

I've been finding myself taking really deep breaths and yawning quite often, especially when I'm just relaxing. It's weird because it doesnt bother me at all during sleep. Ive gone through all the tests and everything checks out fine. My family doctor mentioned it might be stress or overthinking, but Im not really convinced. I can't help but keep thinking about these long breaths. I also deal with acidity issues. Could these things be related? Any advice on what's going on would be really helpful.

I've been having this chest tightness and shortness of breath for about four months now, and it's getting pretty bad. About six months ago, I noticed my sputum turning grey once a day too. My doctor did a sputum culture and said it's streptococci pneumonia, but my X-ray and ECG were normal. I was on Novamax 500mg three times a day, but I still feel tightness in my chest and have grey sputum. A CT scan showed fibrotic strands on my upper right lobe, which my doctor said was from a past infection. I'm not on any meds right now, but I'm still struggling with these symptoms. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what steps I should take next? It's really affecting my daily life.
Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management, as your symptoms persist despite treatment and normal heart tests; the CT scan findings suggest possible pulmonary fibrosis or scarring, which may be causing your chest tightness and shortness of breath; the pulmonologist can assess your condition, potentially ordering additional tests like pulmonary function tests (PFTs) or bronchoscopy, and develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms.
