I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a typical coughthough I do get mucus when I manage to cough. I'm curious about what my X-ray report might indicate about these symptoms. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

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.
