I've been having this cough with sputum mostly at night and not so much during the day. There's no fever, weight loss, vomiting, or anything else like that. Should I be concerned, or is this something that might just go away on its own?

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
