I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?

I'm really struggling with a bad cough for the past three days and have been taking marzon allerfix tablets and Reswas cough syrup, but I can't shake off the chest congestion. I smoke around 20 cigarettes a day, so I'm worried that's contributing to it. Is there a connection between my smoking and this congestion, and is there any way I can treat my lungs or cleanse them?

yes to stop smoking

I'm having trouble with breathing and keep getting a sudden cold and a blocked nose whenever it's cold or I eat anything cold. At night, it sometimes feels like I have chest pain or I can't catch my breath while trying to sleep. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?

Thats clearly due to allergy,you are allergic to cool substances avoiding them is the only solution that you have and visit physician for appropriate management
