I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?

While your symptoms might not necessarily indicate something major, it's important to address them proactively. GERD, post-nasal drip, or even stress could be contributing to your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation to rule out other conditions

View allI'm kind of worried because I've been coughing up these black particles in my phlegm every day, and it's pretty thick, especially in the morning. The color is usually grey and it looks a bit like clots. I'm not a smoker and never have been, plus I wear a mask all the time. I haven't had any breathing issues, fever, or weight loss, though I've been dealing with this for about two months now. I tried taking antibiotics but they didnt really make a difference. I'm only on thyroid medication at the moment. Any thoughts on what could be going on or what I should do next?

I'm a 24-year-old male and a few months ago I had some serious chest pain. I got an X-ray done back then and it showed something like blunting of the anterior CP angle on the lateral view. The pain went away after taking antibiotics. Fast forward to now, Ive been dealing with diarrhea for about a month and when I visited the doctor, he suggested a range of tests something like re blood, RBS, LFT, Montoux test, colonoscopy, and a chest X-ray. Turns out, the chest X-ray looks the same as it did five months ago. Could you help me understand what's going on? Should I be worried that the X-ray hasnt changed?

I've been smoking for the last couple of years but stopped after getting a bad cold recently. Since then, I've been coughing a lot, and I'm a bit worried because the mucus changed from yellow to white. Is that normal? I've also been gargling and doing some hot water breathing to help my throat. Should I be concerned about anything else?
