My grandpa's been having a tough time with a serious mucus issue lately. It's like every day he's struggling to spit it out. And recently, the coughing and spitting seem to have ramped up even more. He's on some meds and using a pof blower, but it's not really doing the trick. Do you have any idea what might help?

I'm a bit concerned because I've been told that there's minimal fibrosis and atelectasis in my right lung's middle lobe and lingula. Could you help me understand what exactly this means? Is it something I should be worried about, and what steps should I take next? Would really appreciate any insights or advice you could give me.

I'm having trouble breathing through my nose and it feels like I'm not getting enough air, so I have to breathe through my mouth instead. Its especially tough when I'm sleeping, and now my chest is starting to hurt since Im always using my mouth to breathe. This reminds me of when I was young; I used to jump rope a lot, like 2000 times, and a doctor once said that caused a breathing issue for me back then. I feel like I'm going through the same thing again. What do you think might be the issue this time?

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.
