I've been noticing some blood-colored mucus once in a while over the past few weeks, and for the past two months, it's been feeling like my breathing is sometimes obstructed. I just got a body check and everything came back normal, including the blood test, but they didnt explain why I'm seeing the blood-colored mucus. Is this something I should be worried about, like could it be a sign of lung cancer?

View allIs there anything critical in my report? I'm worried because it mentions both hila are congested, but everything else seems normal like the cardiac shadow and costophrenic angles. Should I be concerned about the hila congestion? What does this mean for my overall lung health?
BOTH HILA ARE CONGESTED.THIS IS A POSITIVE FINDING. THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE. DO YOU HAVE CONSENT COUGH? ARE YOU A SMOKER OR OCCASIONAL ALCOHOLIC? NEED PROPER EXAMINATION BY PULMONOLOGIST

I'm having trouble taking deep breaths lately. Sometimes I can manage it, but I mostly end up breathing through my mouth. This has been going on for about three weeks. I used to have other issues like stiffness in my fingers in the morning and pain in my right shoulder and upper arm, but those have either gone away or are getting better. I had a blood test back in January that showed high ESR and low platelets, but I feel okay now except for the deep breathing issue. What could be causing this?
do spirometry

I'm really worried about my mom who's been on pulmonary tb meds for six months now. They didn't find any cavities, just some infections initially, and she's feeling better, but I came across a few blogs that said these meds might actually harm the lungs and could lead to more infections down the line. Is that something we should be worried about? What should we do to prevent any long-term issues? Would love some advice.
