I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

I've been struggling with this persistent dry cough for about three months now, and it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes I also experience a blocked nose for around 30 minutes, during which the cough stops, but once the cold goes away, the dry cough comes back. Also, I notice that when I cough, I sweat a lot, and if I talk too much, it triggers the cough too. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do about it?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 77 and has had this persistent cough for a few weeks now. He smoked for 40 years but quit back in 2017. However, he still chews tobacco. Could his history with smoking or his current use of tobacco be causing the cough, or is it something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?

I'm really worried about my recent x-ray report. It says there's a mild increase in peri hilar bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not sure how serious this might be. Can you help me understand what's going on?
