I've been spitting up white mucus throughout the day, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a smoker, and I used to smoke 5 cigarettes a day, but I've cut it down to 2 now. Lately, I've noticed this white mucus, especially in the morning, and one morning it even looked black. Could this be related to my smoking, or is it something else I should be worried about?

I'm really worried because even though my chest X-ray came back normal, I've been having breathing problems for several days now. My oxygen level was 96 just yesterday, and I'm not sure if that's okay. Plus, my lymphocytes are a little high. Can an X-ray miss something serious? What should I do?

I'm dealing with asthma, but for the past 45 months, I've been feeling breathless constantly. There's a lot of yawning and burping happening too. I had an X-ray, which showed everything's fine. I've tried nebulization and other treatments my doctor recommended, but nothing seems to work. Could you offer some advice on what might be happening?

I've been having trouble with deep breathing for the past 20 days, and it's really freaking me out. Sometimes it's fine, but other times it comes with a pain that shoots into my back whenever I take a deep breath. I did see a gastroenterologist because I was also having stomach pain, and they mentioned something about stomach lining inflammation. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
