I've been noticing recently that I often feel the need to take long breaths. If I try not to, I get a pressure sensation in my chest. It all seems to happen without me really being aware of it, but it's becoming a regular thing. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI've been having trouble with my breathing for a while now, and I'm getting worried. I'm 22, female, and I have hypothyroidism. My nose bone is a little big too. For the past year, I've been dealing with this constant heavy feeling in my chest while breathing, congestion in my nose, and chest pain. It even makes me feel a bit dizzy sometimes. Do you have any idea what could be causing this, and what I should do about it?

I've been dealing with a coughing issue over the past week, and it's really getting out of hand, especially at night. It's making it hard to sleep because there's also this white mucus that keeps coming up from my throat. I'm considering taking a cough expectorant, but I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think? Should I try medication, or is there something else I should do?

Ive been smoking for about 9 or 10 years. Occasionally, I experience chest pain for a couple of days, but it usually just goes away and isn't that frequent. Should I be worried about lung cancer? What are the symptoms I should be looking out for?
