My dad is 55 and he's been having shortness of breath. We saw a cardiologist, and they said his heart is fine. I've got his chest X-ray report here. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything we should be concerned about?

I've had this dry cough for a couple of weeks now, and it just seems to hang around. I don't have a cold or anything, but there's this constant feeling of something in my throat, almost like there's phlegm I can't clear. It's like my nose is dripping into my throat, which is super annoying. I had a Blood Picture test done recently, and I noticed the monocyte level is really low. Could that be causing this cough, or are they unrelated? Just trying to figure out what might be going on here.
