I've been dealing with this really low-pitched wheezing and a persistent cough for a few months now and just got a chest X-ray. What kind of tests would you suggest to really pinpoint if there's a lung issue going on?

I've been dealing with COVID for about a month now, and thankfully, it was mostly asymptomatic at the start. Lately though, I've been feeling this chest tightness or burning sensation, mainly in the evenings. Is this a normal thing to experience after having COVID, and what should I be doing about it?

That could be Gastritis,no need to worry avoid spicy foods visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm really concerned because I've been having this stuffed-up noise and chest congestion. There's even some pain in my chest, so I went ahead and got an x-ray. It shows mild prominence bronchovascular markings. Could this be a sign of TB? I'm worried because I need to have a medical test for my visa, and they specifically look for TB. Can you help me understand if these symptoms point to TB or something else?

its not a confirmation sign for Tuberculosis. You can go for Tuberculosis testing
