I've been noticing this weird poopingcracking sensation in my lungs when I'm sitting, and it seems to come and go without any warning. It's been bothering me because I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is it just one of those random bodily quirks? Would love some guidance on whether this is something I should be concerned about.

I've been having this recurring discomfort in the upper left side of my chest for about 45 days now. It all started after I went for a run, breathing through my mouth in the cold weather, and I felt like I'd somehow injured the tissues on that side of my chest from the pressure. The discomfort seems to come and go, sometimes with clear mucus when I cough. I did have a bout of cough and cold about a month ago, and since then, the discomfort seems to be happening more often. I've already seen a general physician who said not to worry and gave me some meds, but they haven't really helped. There's no history of heart issues or high blood pressure in my family. What do you think could be going on?

I'm looking at this X-ray report that mentions prominent bronchovascular markings with an infiltrative lesion. I'm kind of worried and unsure about what it all means. Can you help me understand what kind of medication might be needed for this?

I'm a bit concerned because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. It switches between being dry and wet, and recently, I've started having some abdominal pain when I cough. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?
