I've been having trouble sleeping at night because of a constant cough. It's getting really tough to breathe, and I feel like I'm suffocating sometimes. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with some phlegm in the mornings and I'm feeling really tired. Could you take a look at my X-ray report to see what's going on?

I smoke a little, just about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day, and sometimes I also smoke marijuana. The last time I smoked marijuana, my throat started choking and it hurt a bit. While the pain has stopped, I still feel a bit of chokiness. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

dont smoke

I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?

probably you might have high cough or increased sputum ,to rule out some respiratory causes they would have taken CT scan
