I'm going to Kuwait for a job, and I'm really worried about this mild increase in bronchovascular markings that's shown up on my chest exam. I've got a GCC GAMCA medical test coming up, and Im anxious about whether this issue might cause me to fail the test. Ive tried reaching out to different doctors, but I havent gotten a clear response. Can you let me know if this is something that will make me unfit for the job medical test?

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.

I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?
